Set The Record Straight

I just want to set the record straight. Im sure most of you know that my car was at HHP ans it encountered problems..Well the biggest of them all is that i had 3 broken pistons and the engine had to be torn down and discarded...So,with that im not sure who's fault it is or what may of happened but i am gonna just be done with that situation and not play the blame game with anyone. It is what it is and of course it sucks but it opened my eyes to a new set of problems with the build...With the bottom end down i could clearly see that the pistons have never really fit right. It looks as if they were never really seated at all. Also, the bearings are wiped out in the bottom end completely...It seems the machine shop i used really didnt do the good job i thought they did,because the engine only had 21 passes on it..I thought that it was all checked out just to be sure it was ok but i guess i was wrong.. So really the first time i would have shot it,it would have come apart in a major way. So with that i want to say that there is no hard feelings with anyone and i will have a new "BAD ASS" bottom end delivered this week... So beware as it will be done in a matter of weeks now....I have my sights on another camaro that should be done about he same time....lol
