Disaster. That crosshatch shouldn't be there. They used the wrong kind of cutting stones. Same mistake my machine shop did, but they admitted that it was their error and paid for new block without any problem.

Should look more like this, but after AN-30 procedure even this is almos entirely gone.

 

yup i sent it all to Lindsey they had nothing to say, besides break in error

 

Hard to believe they are in business that long and don't know how to prepare a block.

 

They are still claiming break-in error with the new evidence?

 

they want me to send them a piston , so they can see if it was an air fuel issue lol, sending them on so they can check it

 

Wow.. REALLY bad customer service if they are still denying after seeing those images. I'll never buy anything from them again. What a joke. Sorry. I'm having a hard time believing this and it isnt even my motor.

 

You think I want to make this up ! Spent a nice Penny on this motor! I hope they warranty this issue or refund me some of the money back! Car is getting a 3.0l now since the bores are messed up I'm sleeving it! Hopefully they stand by there work we will see. But some of this is pure amateur work

 

Ummmm why is there regular antifreeze???????????

Lindsey racing LOLZ

 

A cooling line hit the alt and tore a hole in it ... That was me with the green coolant ... I was told it would be fine long as it's 100percent ... I can't blame them for everything now

 

Crazy - cross hatching clearly visible in the bores, and they are still denying???

wow

 

I sent them An email about it they ignored it and asked for better photos of intake manifold, just told them I will get photos and ASKED a second time on cross hatching

 

They told me the process, they send it out to get done and said all blocks have some cross hatching, as you can see in the photos it looks like my missed one step, they also offered me new Pistons and block to fix the issue, I told them it is getting sleeved and what about the cost of the rebuild and to rnr the motor a second time, I will send them a list of what went bad and how much it will be to fix. Hopefully they will stand by there work

 

Are you saying you used 100% glycol in your cooling system?

 

No dont use that. Use the porsche pink stuff
