No compression-next move?

How are the guides ?


Had a 572 BBC come in for a surface. A couple of the valves just looked funny. So I pulled one. Bent. All 8 intakes bent. 4 exhausts bent.

Customer said I was just trying to sell him new valves! Found out later he didn't know how to degree a cam, hence the bent valves.

Also found out later when he brought in the short block that he had killed an externally balanced flywheel and replaced it with an internally balanced flywheel.

When the crank went up on the balancer it about shook me right out of the shop. I'm like WTF???? So I had him come by and see what was happening. He leaves and comes back an hour later with the original.

So I ask him..."dude...did it not shake like a dog shitting peach seeds?????"


Customer..."nope...smooooooooth as butter!!!!!"

Oh ok. 100 grams out and the engine didn't shake?
