I whole heartedly agree with you. The engine builder is the last line of defense. If a person is unwilling to take on that responsibility, then that person should not be assembling engines. If a person had an engine assembled by a professional engine builder and paid him boocoo bucks to do so, and the engine failed because a simple, easily noticeable flaw in a part was not caught, what kind of opinion would you have of that engine assembler?Gentlemen, I believe that this is par for the course these days. A very well respected member of this forum advised me to check and recheck EVERYTHING when assembling these motors. Having just completed a rebuild, I can tell you that I passed through hell with no less than 3 aftermarket timing covers (before just reusing a decent oem unit), one lifter with machining shavings in it, and a roller cam with a .040 error on its thrust surface---just for starters. Any one of these problems, by itself, could have ruined this build had it not been corrected before installing in the car. I know that I am not alone with these types of experiences, for sure. Again, things SHOULD be different, but reality is what it is. You cannot take anything for granted once you deviate from the original parts the motor came with. Good catch, however! Thanks, Rudy.
