Well, unfortunately the guy at the shop did not do the rebuild himself. He only did the machine work, including replacement of the freeze plugs. I assembled the engine myself.

I will probably take the truck to the guy's shop, but I'm not confident that he will get it back to me in a timely manner. I had a pretty bad experience with this machinist toward the end of our business relationship. I don't particularly want to go into details, but some of it involved time and some of it involved quality. So the idea of letting him tear into my engine doesn't give me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Also, I will be out of town for about 2 - 3 months starting in a week or two, and I don't relish the idea of leaving my engine or my truck at his shop where God only knows what will happen, and I will be unable to check up on it.

Perhaps I can take it to him to show him what happened and then I can take it elsewhere to have the inspection performed. Of course, then there's the problem of getting him to pay another shop for the work done.

Let me know what you think, and please bear with me as this is the first time I've had to deal with a situation like this. I appreciate the advice.


Matt
