You can send it to my house jaja. Get someone to see whats the damage and after that if the block's well you could try using it on another engine or selling the good parts.

You guys are terrible....LOL


The damage you're describing is not that bad. I'm sure you could take it to any reputable machine shop and they'd be able to point you in the right direction.

I've seen my machinist do the impossible with some of the motors that have come through his shop.

Good luck with it.
