The shop that did the machine work did not offer any sort of warranty. Good luck. Phil

(assuming that the motor is good, which the guy says that it is). Hope somebody can put it to good use. Phil
If it was closer to moab it wouldn't be so bad of a drive to pick it up but since I'm on the border of mexico and the engine is near the border of wyoming, it would be about a 2000 mile round trip drive compared to a 800 mile round trip drive to where I bought this short block.

If I was to resleeve it with top hats would I need new pistons? I read that top hat liners are a little thicker than stock liners.
