I ran web searches for posts on Bill Mitchell/World Products before purchasing and came up with 95% positive info. One neg. post said internals were not what was advertised. Another said he received a block with scratched cam bearings and sent it back and they replaced them. Another said crate engine lost oil pressure and fought to get "most" of his money back. Most posts though said "get a Bill Mitchell". When I placed the order, in as nice a way as possible, I told him I researched his company and saw a post about bad cam bearings and asked him to make sure I didn't have a similar problem because I didn't want to have to send it back. Tried to warn him you might say. Did me no good as you can see.
I have to order the tools needed to check their work as you suggested. Their disclaimer says "Once machining begins, there is no return." So...I guess that means if I start de-burring or any grinding it's mine. Doesn't mean I can't check deck height and mains and bores though.
I emailed sales rep. yesterday with pic and gave them a day to think things over. Today I begin calling. He didn't reply to email.
