just rebuilt runs bad

My machinist came out today and agreed that the #1 intake valve was not opening where it is suppose to.

We pulled the motor and laid it in the back of his truck. He'll take it back to his shop and go through it thoroughly. He apologized and said he would make it right. When complete, he'll bring it back and help put it back in the car and hang around until it's running the way it should.

Life happens. I can only hope things go smoothly from here. I really appreciate everyones support on this.

One thing I didn't tell you. The very first time I found TDC I used a #2 pencil. After finding TDC I removed the pencil but the eraser and aluminum casing stayed behind in the cylinder. It took us two weeks to get it out and I ended up having to buy a borescope to find it. It was stuck to the bottom of the head.

Again, life happens.
