I was never questioning the work that was done or the integrity of the machinist that built the engine. Nor the cost of the engine that was built. I just wanted some extra advice from others so I knew what I was up against.
Been following the thread to find out what is wrong with your engine.

Sounds like you got a reputable guy to build it and something went wrong.

Never know, torque wrench might be out of calibration, etc. etc. Things happen, even to the pros.
