Water port where pump connects



Being that I dont kno anything about anything & no one at the shop I purchased this engine from seem to acknowledge anything as their fault, I come here humble to simply ask, should I be concern about any kind of shaving in my intake ports & I also see some where the water pump goes. I've waited a entire year on this build to be complete (it's still not complete) I'm very anxious to hear & feel this engine but I dont want to ruin anything.. I'll attempt to attach pics or video what would you do if you purchased this build, I could really use a "hey it's not a big deal" or some helpful info😭

 

 

Looks like someone forgot that oh so important step of cleaning the block, I wonder how much crap is in the
oil passageways? Will the next thread be "why is my oil pressure so low"?

 

its has been assembled

 

Definitely not going to make that oil pressure thread lol..I will disassemble & rebuild myself if this is the best effort I can buy

 

 

Let me guess, you weren't given a spec sheet either on it?

 

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯😭

 

 

yes heads were sent off for port job...the engine was assembled In The same area where ALL the engine work is done & left uncovered for a year.. the oil pump was put in jus before I picked the engine up 2 days ago

 

 

That is crappy workmanship. Get your money back or get your money back, or get your money back. And charge them for your time and materials working it out.

 

Looks like aluminum from the port work on the heads to me. Quality control certainly lacking here for sure! Have you dropped the pan and cut open the oil filter to see?

 

Taking it back to the shop that did this terrible work after 1 year of having it is absolutely not worth your sunk time or money. You'll never get either back. At some point you have to stop throwing good after bad regardless of principle--something of which this shop has no grasp of.

If I were in this situation, I'd probably do some public shaming of the shop that did this, then I'd disassemble, clean the **** out of it myself, reassemble (they're really not that complicated when you have so many available references, videos, etc on the interwebs).

 

not yet I've had a million other things going.. I wrapped it after those pics. ITS STILL WRAPPED

 

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👈

 

I'm curious as to what the cylinder walls look like. No doubt this motor will have to be fully disassembled and inspected prior to rebuild. Won't know the extent of the damage until it's pulled apart and if your lucky the damage is minimal.

 

 

Call your local consumer reporter at the news station. Sometimes they can twist arms.

 

Get your money back. That looks like a disaster in the making.
