Super tuning car runs good shooting for great

Well yeah, I had that same shop straighten out a previously botched decking. That's what I brought it in for. The two decks were declining in opposite directions and also were not at the correct angles from side to side and one deck was lower than the other. I mean it couldn't get any worse. When I originally put the engine together, the pistons were a bit down in the holes, so I didn't care about them being a little uneven. But with the straightening out of things, they popped up. So now with an .039 FellPro I was rapidly running out of Squish. So things became a lil tense on the morning of the reassembly,lol.At least the intake fit now.They charged me for an align-hone;what they actually did,I wasn't there for. But the end result is that I now had a leaker and it was obvious why; the crank went up into the block, as proved by the bellhouse re-alignment required and the obvious seal problem. So My conclusion is the same; if the crank spins free on new bearings, I for one, will not let anyone talk me into saddle work,period.
I did not include the shop's name on account of there's always an off-chance that I was one-time event. They were after all a well established outfit, and there are plenty of racers in the province, running on their work; as was the first shop, that botched the decking all to kingdom-come,lol.
So was I cursed? IDK, but it's all working pretty good now, except of course the underside of my car gets automatically rust-proofed on a rather continuous basis,lol.
