Agree it would suck but I'm doubting how truthfull that 5 times statement is.
I see a builder trying to make things right but I also see a very frustrated OP that is in a bad spot because he lacks knowledge.

Trailer or not did you not test drive it before loading it up?

No Steve sent me a video and it seemed to run good. I didn’t have picture of the exhaust it was a 15 sec clip
I'm surprised that you see only that.his time and experience with the builder has been a nightmare and I believe for both of them,however he is the victim In this case and guys are all over him because of a leakdown he can't do.i wish he would move on,but there is no way he should bring the car back after what has happened.
To me it sounds like you do by your comments. Also by having others do a simple compression test and not knowing how to do a leakdown test etc.
As much time as you have spent behind the keyboard you could have found the issue and posted all your findings before starting the thread.

He the victim? At this point both seem to be the victim

So he pulled the motor to fix Intake port alignment?

How?OP didnt break Steve's motor
He thought that’s why it was still blowing oil because alignment was off so he milled heads. But the reason the motor was blowing oil was because the oil support rails were left out
The bashing of Steve without knowing the cause for 1. If Steve told him to pound sand and left him a broke motor I could understand.

I had Lou Czarnota build my low 10 second junk. The man is nearly 600 miles away from my home base. I did my research, he did it right. 10 years later he's building another 109 block for me, should be close to 750+ HP. and it will be right.
How do I know this? Because I built a relationship prior to handing Lou my car. I spent time with the guy, asked questions, got schooled, (boy, did I get schooled) learned what to expect of my expectations.
He took the time to put my head and understanding where it should have been with engine #1 and will take the time to set my expectations with this new build (it will be a monster). Lou does it right, from concept, to build, to finished product. There is no "grey" area.
If you didn't follow the same protocol, well, that's your issue. Own it.
You pay your money and you take your chances, that's how it is in every endeavor.
Did you do the same when sent your stuff to Steve? Or did you just "expect".........?
That isnt your fault he should have know what bore finish and ring pack to use.
I still think you have Blowby and your leakdown is going to show it.

I would understand if there was an issue that the builder wanted to resolve as people make mistakes.but these are alot of mistakes and they are out in the open not be a cause the op is has been pissed over 1 issue but many.
