The engine... sh*t glitter?!?

The worst of both worlds then, that sucks man.

GL to you however you decide to proceed. LS swaps are getting easier by the day. :tup:

Regardless, pls keep us posted.

Where did the big piece come from?

Was Plastigage used during assembly? That would have given you a heads-up that something wasn't quite right.

Where have I heard this before.? Hmmmmmmm.

No Sh1t Sherlock, how the Fu*# do you miss that.
What, was it just thrown together without checking any of the clearances.
Makes you wonder what else was missed.

Well, if it was Mate, who ever checked it is a Moron.
Would have been pretty Friggin obvious there was a problem.
As for the rest of it, just because it held up to a few miles & some dyno runs doesn't mean its been done properly.
Sounds like folks are taking advantage of your naivety.
Imo you need a Better Engine Builder, or this will be just the beginning.
Not trying to bust your balls Mate, just annoyed with the Snake oil salesmen in this industry.
Good luck with it all & I mean that sincerely.
Cheers.

True, it is very hard to get down to the truth of what will hold and what won't. Lots of misinformation out there. One launch at the track and his block is going to crack
between the main studs and head studs. That is why they have a billet block that has been made. That's IF the car makes power. Curious to see what steps have been
taken to deal with head lift. From the pictures posted, I don't see enough.

What headgasket did he use? He needs to use the BC headgasket. I see he has the rest of the solution. He is close. Cracking the block is a major concern for a DE. It is uncharted territory on the VHR.
