[QUOTE="365 Saleen, post: 16776953, member: 201889"] Back in Nov of 2019 I took the engine out for a re-fresh to a local Machine Shop. They are 3 miles from my house. I figured this would work out well because they are so close, what could go wrong. Well, let me tell you. Everything. I dropped the engine off, along with $2,000 cash so the re-build would not be held up because of needing money for parts. I brought a list of things I wanted done, everything itemized, all caps, double spaced. I let it be known that if he needed money, just call/text. I let it be known that if he was looking at something and "thought" it would be "OK" then just buy new and replace it. Period. I did not want any questionable parts being used at all. They were fine with that. 4 weeks later I dropped off another $1,500 cash to make sure they were not wanting for money to get the job done. 8 weeks after that they called and said it was ready to go. I go to pick it up and asked what the final compression was (I specifically asked for 11.0:1 +/- .1) they told me 10.6:1 I was like WTF? I asked for 11.0:1, they said that it would have taken 3 more weeks to get the pistons... Listen dude, I live 3 miles away, you have my cell number and my E-mail address and my physical address, you could have asked. I was loading everything up and asked where my new flexplate was. (that I had specifically asked for) They said they could not find one. I get home and Google SBF zero balance flexplate, 157 tooth and in .376 of a second get dozens of possible buying sources. (Summit, Jegs, ect ect) Yikes! Gotta take the dogs for a walk, the story continues later. [/QUOTE]
