Cylinder wall scuffing after 200 miles. Bought a used a engine on this forum from a shop in Texas. It supposedly only had 200 miles on it since a rebuild. Callies rods, Wiseco pistons, and Hellfire rings. So I pulled the trigger and the engine arrived looking like this.
Who else thinks that these walls are trashed? The entire driver side bank is like this.
Here are some more pics for your viewing pleasure. Who else thinks these pictures "make it look worse than it really is?"
Cylinder # 1
Cylinder # 3
Piston # 4 showing a pit from detonation
Cylinder # 7
And my favorite Cylinder # 5
Some crap that on a lot of the walls but this is the worst.
All of these scuffs are on the driver side bank. The detonation pit is on the passenger side. NONE OF THE CYLINDERS HAVE ANY KIND OF CROSSHATCHING. NOT EVEN A REMOTE MEMORY. This is how I received the engine from Daniel Raff who is the owner of Late Model Performance. I didnt want to out anyone because I hate it. But after not responding to my PMs and ignoring my phone calls I have no choice.

You my friend now own a new and fairly cheap apparently future project. 
Hell me you i would put that engine in the back of my truck take it back to him personally and tell Daniel that he can keep the engine and money apparently he needs it more than you.
