Message but the quality of engine builds hinge heavily on the machinist that's doing the work. Rich's guy in nyc may have been better or worse that whoever he's using in florida. Again, from what I understand, the guy from nyc wasn't that great and overpriced. I hope he finds a better guy in florida.

As far as grease monkey work, the least he could have done was put all the original bolts back the engine that I aquired. Half of the water pump bolts and water pipe nuts were standard sized bolts with metric threads. For someone that gets at much acclaim as rzt, I was a bit suprised to find that he couldn't even us the correct size bolts and nuts. Maybe I'm just being anal about it the bolts and excessive permatex everywhere, but I certainly wouldn't want him working on my car.

Zengineer - ""...300zx is arguably the best, and has been almost universally admired by designers for its refinement, elegant surface development and painstaking detail design; and to think that some teenager will slap on a $150 Veilside front bumper on it 10 years from now is nauseating"
