I rolled the dice on an import block. I am satisfied with the block itself, the seller is a shyster. The say the block is inspected before shipment, yet the bores are .002" over max. They wanted me to return the block at $400 in shipping. I tried to reason with them and they made it sound like they were willing to pay for the boring cost, then nothing. They just want you to go away.
I had my machine shop fill out their paperwork, I made a video they requested. I jumped through all their hoops
MABBCO motors.
They are on Ebay, which is where I found them. I called to get more info and ended up buying directly over the phone and saved $200.
If anyone wants the email trail I will be happy to send it. Just PM me your email address.
I can't say that all import blocks would have a bore size issue. MABBCO said they bought a bunch of these blocks several years ago. I would say that is a true statement because it looked like it had been sitting around and there was surface rust in the lifter valley.
