First he street races some poor ricer & blows the heads off his pile & gets beat. Then takes his car apart to see what makes it tick. Doesn't have a clue on what he's doing.But no problem Lou will bail him out. Meanwhile I repeatedly flatly refused to get involved knowing the consequences. So goofus goes crying to Bob Lillegard who asked as a personnel favour to help him out. So I reluctantly agree & the car arrives to my shop with half the engine in the trunk & the rest in milk cartons. Work proceeds & pulled the now short block out of the car.Used good judgement pulled the pan & discovered some hammered rod bearings & replaced them as a precaution.Also harold started trying to tap the block out with a metric tap supplied to him by another genius & almost ruined the threads. I managed to salvage enough of the material to make the head bolts hold. & assembled the engine painted & detailed it & the engine bay in the process.Didn't have too but thought I would be nice. While I was in the middle of trying to figure out the RJC gaskets which at that time I was unfamiliar with since top had not been clearly marked on the gaskets.Typically its ribbed side up & top clearly embossed.Right in the middle of that Harold proclaimed that I tried to install them wrong. So I threw him out & went on with the work cursing my involvement.The job was finished with out any issues & the car does run well & with the right set up & good driver may squeak out low 11's & run as well as his idol Brent.Harold decided to go around my back & go directly to BPE & ordered them to do certain things to his heads & basically as always screwed himself by probably confusing the guy whom I used for years without a hitch. Went to another shop & got fawked some more. All along I had a set of heads & intake that had he listened to me would have been cheaper & come out better. His heads still don't have the big stainless valves or hardened retainers.Harold now has once more screwed himself by pissing me off & I can't think of anyone local that hasn't heard of him that would be willing to help. So maybe some unsuspecting east coast shop now is his best bet. As for me not scraping the tops of the pistons. As any professional knows That's definitely not the thing to do. Since all the crap would wind up clinging to the rings & trashing the Cly walls.By the way Harold also claims to be a computer technician, His specialty is changing hard drives. He crashed mine so bad I had to scrap it & he cost Bob $600.00 to get his fixed after he upgraded him also. So you see Harold is an untalented moron & a cowardly bitch if he doesn't race Brent.His whole miserable life consists of making an ass out of himself & burning bridges.But he's definitely is entertaining that I will give him. Lou
