My only point is that it's a bit presumptive to assume that if it was done in another shop it wasn't done correctly.... IMO it goes back to something I learned many years ago----no matter how good you are, there's always someone better!

you know dave i never said i did not make mistake .what that has to do with what i posted ? . the guy said one bore was not up to par so his guy the best around open the bore up by honing it out ? you can not do that with hyper pistons ...WHY DO I KNOW THIS I Have FIX THE SHOP ENGINES DOWN THE ROAD with over a 100years under one roof of engine builders .. ... that is all i said GEEE some get butt hurt .i never said i was the best but far from the worst just better then the guys that put .006 +on piston to wall on hpyers . not to many fix my stuff but thanks for caring for me. if you think i am going to talk my self down to make you feel better? my customer know the work i do .i do not care what you think or who you know . stuff that leaves my shop is the best i can do with what i have .i have many happy customers that i built engine.s for and if you do find one not happy ...good luck.. if so. i try to make things right. so getting back your post. yep i must be the guy thats better and i am down the road from the bone heads that can not fit pistons i hope they keep it up.. helps me pay my bills
