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

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.

glad to see you still havent sent it.

its not 4:00 yet, i would expect a "priority" with usps or at the very least a ups ground so i could have a tracking number.

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..
