I called the machine shop. They have not started. He said the same thing he said last week verbatim, EXCEPT there is somehow a boat motor ahead of mine when last week it was just a Buick motor.
Best part is the motor in my car has stopped consuming oil (reason this started) I really am thinking about packing it in and selling my parts off.
Last Tuesday (8/27) I said will you at least guarantee it will be done by the end of September he said yes. Today he said it's only the end of the first week in September. I said you have not touched it, he had the nerve to say it was unreasonable for me to expect it to be done in a week. I said I did not, but I do have a right to expect it to have started after 3!

The mechanic that was "coming tomorrow" from shop 1 responded to a vm I left two weeks ago and is going to complete the assembly and do the install in my garage over 2-3 weekends for 1300~!
Happy I R!

Thanks guys.
This is the bottom end. We still have to verify there is no contact between the pistons and +1mm valves. There are more than 2mm over the size of the valves in the reliefs but it is better to assemble the heads and rotate the timed assembly to be certain.
