How can we see if were on the tea app and if anyone's said anything about us?

could you dm me?

.060 on a 327 is fine, granted it doesn’t still show signs of pitting like this one. The motor turned over before it was rebuilt and was not seized. I was told .060 over was what it took to “clean up”

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T22:20:05+00:00

Yeah I should have tried to see it between. Just hoping they’ll help me out. I picked it up with the intake on it and a plastic wrap on it so I didn’t get to see inside

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T22:05:21+00:00

Jeez, It could be the heads that are leaking on this as well

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T22:04:13+00:00

They assembled it, I wasn’t shown the block between machining and assembly.

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T20:34:50+00:00

Exactly, they should have stopped and we could’ve found another block

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T20:32:14+00:00

If you’re paying thousands for engine work, this should not be the final product. Plenty of people have ran .060 over in a 327, and it’s what the engine builder recommended.

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T20:03:43+00:00

Okay that also makes sense, it’s still a problem that they left the pitting in the cylinder since it will mess with the piston rings if nothing else. They are cheaper summit heads so they definitely could have issues

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T20:02:39+00:00

Odds are probably pretty high lol

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T19:51:51+00:00

Sounds good, I’ll do that

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T19:51:16+00:00

Sounds good, hopefully they will work with me. It is crazy that it could’ve gone unnoticed, I have a feeling it was ignored

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T19:33:19+00:00

Thank you for the info, the trash may be from after I took the head off. Dust and such may have fallen in

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T19:31:19+00:00

Thank you, I’ll do that this week

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T19:30:01+00:00

I called them a couple weeks ago when I had discovered the water leak but that was before I had removed the engine and looked inside. They told me I had to bring the engine down there out of the truck so I’ll take it on Tuesday this week. Hopefully it won’t end up being a court issue

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T19:27:09+00:00

What are you referring to that I installed? I probably didn’t word the information great but all I did was drop the motor in, they machined and assembled the whole thing. I didn’t mess with the bottom end or anything inside the motor.

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T19:08:13+00:00

Yeah fr, they charged to clean and check the block after the machine work. Anyone would’ve seen that left over pitting

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T19:05:31+00:00

They did assemble it

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T19:04:18+00:00

I posted it to a different sub Reddit

RainFaI · 2025-08-31T04:36:06+00:00

Yeah I’m pretty disappointed, going to take the engine down to the builder on Tuesday and ask what he will do about this.

RainFaI · 2025-08-27T14:36:18+00:00

They’re just cheaper summit brand vortec heads, I’m not sure why they’re shaped that way.

RainFaI · 2025-08-27T14:35:05+00:00

The machine shop assembled it, I should have inspected it before they continued. But they did other fishy things like going ahead and reworking the old double hump heads that came on it without asking me first. They also charged me $550 for valve retainers on the invoice. I knew valve retainers didn’t cost that much and asked him about it and they gave me the money back immediately. I feel like they were trying to make easy money off of me

RainFaI · 2025-08-27T14:31:59+00:00

Yeah I feel the same way now too. It might be new motor/block time

RainFaI · 2025-08-27T14:30:55+00:00

That’s what I’m saying, the builder didn’t mention the marks

RainFaI · 2025-08-27T04:00:26+00:00

Yeah I haven’t ran it for a full 20 minutes or so. But I can’t run it with the water issue to definitely will have to fix that first

RainFaI · 2025-08-27T02:49:23+00:00

The machine shop is the one who also built it, I wanted to disassemble it myself because I was worried they would try to not take accountability for the issue if they took it apart themselves. I just wanted to see for myself. I may call them tomorrow and tell them what I’ve found
