Message	the good ones. So many people have built engines and never post anything. If soemthing will go wrong on a new built engine, it will be on the first few miles or weeks. Look at all the Hondas that run under 12 seconds. They are all built. If the machine shop follows the tolerances, there shouldn't be any problems. If you are scared, you can get a new shortblock from the factory:)
