Not that I have any dog in this hunt, but that engine has been at the machine shop for just HOW long now?
I know it's cold where you live, but does the machinist work outside, too, or what?
My last comment about it was 2 months ago, today........
Good work is hard to come by, I know, but......... maybe your machine shop needs a lil' nudge, or better yet, a real solid kick, square in the balls.
Your not saying anything won't get it done "better" , it will just let them think they can continue to take advantage of your good nature.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.......
The guy who is a constant pain-in the-ass, but paid good money, gets it done right, no one want's him to come back with complaints they have to fix for free. And they will all piss and moan about you and your next project.
However, they'll happily take your money, one more time. And again, time, after time, after time.
Ask me how I know....
Don't be shy. Demand the work be done, and be done right, in a reasonable amount of time.
Ask them for a firm completion date you can both agree upon. Hold them to that date or demand they discount the work for failure to launch.
Hold them to the same standards you have to meet working your job. That isn't asking too much.
