No. It was a scion block. Even if they are focused on dsm. It doesn't make it alright to pretend to know the scion motors and promis the world to someone. They talked a good game.

Not many people have the setup to bore or sleeve a cylinder, balance a rotating assembly, or even hot tank. That being said, local machine shop should be up to the task and then go for DIY assembly after the metal is cut.
Of course, my local shop is mainly domestic V-8, if the 1NZ-FE cylinder were any smaller they wouldn't have a bore to fit it. Maybe I should have gone to a motorcycle shop instead.

It was my motor that Bobby is talking about. Everything that he is saying is absolutley true. The block was the only thing holding up my build, I had everything else for the build months ago. Dave (silvertc300) has been so patient having my car sit in his shop, when he contacted to slowboy to see what was going on they gave him the run-around as well. It was absolutley ridiculous. I was given 7 promise dates on when the motor would be delivered,not one of them met, just all excuses. If any one has any doubts or questions, Bobby and I have ALL the emails that we can gladly show anybody. I would not like any fellow SL members to go through this.
