too bad hotrex is a banned seller here. Not like this would be really unexpected. Good luck with everything though.

i dont think you can really blame him, i might not have noticed it, especially if a shop did all the work (i wouldnt have even thought to question the piston to wall clearance). Its not like he fucked it up from driving it, must have been that way all along

its kinda the way i thought about it also. i dont blame him, but at the same time, i do.
he says he didnt build the motor, and he says it had good compression. again, this is all what he said. he hasnt lied about anything.

i dont think it would hurt it to drive on it, it just wouldn't last to long.

i mean, if i wouldve pulled the head, knowing it was going to someone else, i probably wouldnt have inspected it that good, and with oil left in the motor, it easily couldve been overlooked.

I would like to know where the rest of my ---- is though.

The piston to wall clearence looks the same as a spare block I bought that had 81mm pistons in a 81.5mm bore. You're not supposed to be able to see the rings.. :o
