Seeing a thrust bearing fail like that makes me wonder if it was bolted to a manual tranny with a real agressive driver/clutch. The mileage was pretty low though so who knows. Wasn't it an ebay motor?

Anyway, where will it be assemble at? I want to see all go down.

Didn't you just buy that house???

Cleans the block, any good shop will do it before they will work on it kind of like magnifluxing (sp) it for cracks.

Yeah, but now it's gutted like a Honda. I need to make the house mine if you know what I mean, and I'm debating on whether or not I should flip it in a couple years. It depends on the market and how sick of it I get.

Back to the issue: Criss' will vat or hot tank it for sure. As for magnafluxing its up to them, but they should do it to cover their ***. I mean if there was a crack, they didn't see it and then 500 miles down the road something breaks, it's their rep on the line. Word travels fast around this town.
