Larry, DON'T go to Hi-Tech in Salt Lake City. After 30 miles the rocker arm studs started pulling out around #4. Engine sent back to them for inspection, and they said there was nothing wrong with it and if I did not want it back they were going to reassemble it and sell it to the next person that ordered that particular engine. I told them to keep it. Guess they screwed up and it didn't last until the warranty ran out.

I bought a small block Chevy, crate engine, through Jasper several years ago to put in my boat. It seemed like an economical alternative to rebuilding the one I had. Long story short, it failed about 30 days out of warranty. When we took it apart to see why, it had been over-bored and sleeved. Who sleeves a small block gas engine ?!! Just wondering if there is a reliable mass-production engine builder/rebuilder, performance or stock, out there ? Larry '71 Chevelle _____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
