rebuilt engine on ebay

I just wandering what people think of a 60 over block? I guess from what I was told this is what you would get under gm warranty?

I personally wouldn't want it myself because of the 60 overbore. If something happens its rebuild life is over unless you put sleeves in it. Also I thought you got a sg1 block under warranty but I may be wrong on that one

GM warranty motors were NEW. All I have seen around here would get a NEW shortblock and the dealer would used the rest of YOUR parts . .60 over motor I wouldn't go near regardless of who built it

Maybe I am missing something, but did not see where it stated it was a 0.060" over bore?

Our Local GM dealers did sell reman 109 engines that did come with a warranty.

The question is does this engine have turbo pistons and crank?

You cant see the gm tag in the pics so I ask the seller. He sent this to me.

Key is to sonic check

my machinist has built one that was .125 over, that went very fast for a long time. but on the other hand, had a stock rebuild for a daily driver .020, and it had a pin hole and leaked coolant, QC on these blocks is truly a joke

FYI there are a few very fast guy's on this board that are .100+
