    Howdy guys, I’m moving to a serpentine setup so my 1000 mile Sanden brand compressor (v belt) and Alan grove bracket won’t be needed. The compressor was $279 and the bracket $120. You can take it all for $120 shipped. https://ebay.us/m/oF0gbd

    I think a rod spun a bearing in my rebuilt 454

    Going with a blueprint 496. Hopefully not too much motor for the burb lol

    Yep but who’s to say that thing is built right too. This pricey guy will back his work locally.

    It’s a 2 bolt main. The shop refunded me all money. I moved it to a more reputable (slower and more $$) shop. You get what you pay for with machine work. Looks like it’s time to go forged internals.

    I paid with cc. I can just contest the charge and get a chargeback.

    But a full cleaning, and bearing replacement is needed. I don’t really trust the cook who burned the food to recook me more.

    I found a crate gm vortec 8100 local that I can snag for $3800 but I bet it will be a pain in the ass to swap. I have the sniper setup for this motor, Afr heads, etc.

    Labor was $3200 and parts was $2600 ($5800 all in for a complete long block). Looks like now it will be more. If I have to replace all bearings due to metal contamination, piston potential replacement, rods, and maybe crank.

    That’s my issue. This shop already had to refund me for bad head work on the same install. Looks like they can either refund me for labor to pull this out, replace gaskets, fix it, or give me my original money back and I’ll go elsewhere. I’m gonna vote for the latter.

    My issue is that I paid a shop for a full rebuild and already had issues with the heads. They refunded me for that and I went with aluminum heads instead of trusting them to fix them. Now s bearing is spun and whose to say it won’t happen with other bearings.

    Only 4k miles post the machine shop rebuild and knocking started while driving on the highway yesterday. Pulled over and the bearing screech started. I’m really upset about it. What a pain in the butt and wallet.
