Biggest mistake ever- lunati cams
Maybe you can now appreciate the difference between a REAL "engine builder" and a "parts assembler" and your machine shop sounds incompetent
To the OP & forum;
While I enjoy screwing my own engines together, sometimes I will pass the puck on the short block. It makes sense in some cases to let the engine builder do the work. Currently, I have not the space (awaiting on a few things for a garage to be built) and in my last house, the room to happily work on an engine build.
While I have put together more than just a couple of engines, there intended performance levels were never a level of what I would call high HP output race quality.
There is always something that pops up when doing things yourself and you can’t always see the caveat coming even if you think you did all the homework. IMO, unless you have all the tools and devices to basically compare to a machine shop and the engine builder, the option of paying the piper, the engine builder, is a more prudent path.
I fully advocate building your own engine but it can be a huge PIA when one of those pitfalls hit you square in the nose.
In my latest case, Replicarracer43 above has my short block stuff and I gave him the green light to assemble the short block so I’m ready to go. He will set me up and save me a lot of headache pain.
