Ok so if any of you have been following my engine build ive been waiting for my pistons
to come in. Well tuesday they finally got here yay. But im having a big problem. I test fit
them into my cylinder bores and I noticed that the idiots that bored my cylinders chiped
the top of cylinder number 1!!!!!!!!! I have no idea why i didnt notice it until now, but this is
a big problem. I was thinking that i could still put the pistons in because the chip is far
up enough so that the pistons rings will never hit it. But on the other hand sharp or
rough edges in the cylinders promote detonation. So how can something like this be
fixed? Ill try to get pics of the damage on here asap.

I think the guys who did that owe you a new block.
see thats the problem, you know there going to be like " well we didnt do it".... grrrrr

i'd be able to tell ya a little more if i could see exactly where it was. i'll keep checkin on here to see if you get any pictures up.
About getting another block for free, It can be done. My friend had his head rebuilt and the guys that did it forgot to clean the valve guides and it wasn't able to get oil and overheated. messed up the head bigtime. Got an attorney and won. It's worth a shot.
yea im going to put a picture on here as soon as i can... i will get an attorney if they want to play hard... im not one to take businesses messing up lightly especially when this could get expensive to fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope it works out for you. But yea with an issue like that, it'd take a lot of balls for them to fess up and say they did it. They probably didn't notice it unless you have one very scandalous machine shop.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
2 words, JB weld! That @!#$ is god! I've seen cracked blocks, cracked rims, and yes even oil return lines for a turbo use this stuff! Am I serious about using this internally? HELLLLLLL NO! Can u get another block for cheap? Hell yeah! Threaten them with an attorney and see if they would settle with boring you another block. How bad is it? Can u sleeve it? DO I even know what I'm talkin about?

You have been banned from NEJBODY.
You've displayed wayyy too many acts of pushing people to their limits.
It's never cool to tear people down for what they want to do.
NEJBODY is a team. We're not the same as JBO where everyone bashes on eachother.
I'm surprised you show up to our meets after half of the things you say on here.
i would say talk to them first tell them yo just unpacked the block and found the dammage, give them a chance to replace it, then if they start getting stupid then tell them youi are on like s car sites for the area and now eveyone will now the name of the shop that screwed you, and give them a chance to replace it quietly , if still not then get a lawyer sue them get saleno and barnes or some @!#$ laywers like that love cases like that
Well i took the block up to the place and i was pleseantly suprised about the response i got. The guy said it looks like his mistake so hes going to bore out the cylinder and put a sleeve in there for free! I was already to get pissed off tho haha

WOW !! Thats great news !! And don't worry sleeves in blocks are every bit as good as the block itself. Don't forget that all your top fuel and funny car engines are sleeved and they run just fine.
Glad this worked out for you.
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
Yea the guy was trying to get me to sleeve all my cylinders but i was like ummmmm na thats ok lol
