A bit more info would be helpful.

What did you expect to be done and what was actually done?

Some info on the exact problems or damage would be helpful. Pictures of any damage would help as well.

Where are you located? Might be members in your area that could assist.

I am in Mi near Flint, He had lied to me during the build and rumor has it he was seeling his customers parts on craigslist and not putting them in the motor.

One of my issue is he cant remember what rod bolts are in the car I have ones that I bought that he gave me back arp 2000. the rods i bought had arp 8470 and he has told me he put his used arp L19 in and also told me he put used arp 2000. he said the arp 2000 i bought cant work with my h beam rods is this a true stament is there different arp for stock or h beam?
I just need to know what it will cost to pull the motor and go through it. so I can get it contact with small claims or police. as in mi I can get him for felony- larceny of conversation.

There are a number of good reputable shops in MI.

I would contact one of them, there are several that are sponsors here.

Go to the sponsors tab and sort by location.

Good luck.

The proper use of English on this board is egregious and It makes things so hard to read. I can overlook "seeling" as a typo, but come on, please tell me you know the difference between "threw" and "through"?

Johnny threw the ball to Jane.

Timmy looked through the engine for signs of trouble.

See how this can throw one off?

To answer your question, prob about $1K.

Their, There, They're; while we are at it....

It's their business.

Their business is over there.

They're running their business over there.

This probably didn't help, LOL.

On topic, OP, I hope you get it sorted out and that scum bag pays! Good luck with it all. Hopefully you get your car up and running soon.
