I'll do thatoil squirter info..

I did get a build sheet but it did not include clearances; only dollar amounts for the service/part

Thats my question.

So it could be machining, bearing clearances, and or bad/clogged oilers. None of which are on me

No specific warranty info was given. I have a receipt with all the services and prices but that's it.

10-30 mobil conventional oil changed at 150 then 500 miles. I wouldn't have used the cranked but the shop sounded so completely confident that they convinced me to go with it. Clevite bearings were used for the rods and mains.

The shop assembled the bottom end. I assume they did

Ok but the shop measured, machined, and checked the crank/bearings for clearences before I wrote them a $1000 check.

At 175,000, I spun a rod bearing so I decided to rebuild: 7 bolt, balance shaft elimination, eagle rods, Aries 20 over positions, clevite over sized main and rod bearings etc. I had a local machine shop machine my crank, balance and assemble the shortblock, just to be safe. I assembled the rest...

There's no way there going to buy me new gaskets. They only assembled the shortblock. If they do, maybe I'll find another roller in better shape. Even then, I wouldn't trust the engine after they messed it up the first time. This is my dd, or, was my dd

Spun a rod bearing at 175,000 miles

The only update is that ive decided to part it out. I havnt torn it down or taken it back to them yet. I don't have the $ to replace all of the gaskets/oil/coolant etc again and I especially don't have the time. I'm just really discouraged over this and it is terrible that this shop has...

What's the best angle at approaching the machine shop that did my bottom end to get this worked out?

Tom, I wish your luck came to me.I have .025" of crank end play.

Just recently built my motor after a rod bearing failure. The bottom end was professionally machined, balanced, and assembled. I have almost 700 miles on it and noticed right from the start that when I pushed the clutch (act 2600 with a street disc on an act flywheel) in, my rpms drop a lot. I...
