Message	It was Alamo Autosports in Arlington TX. I ran into several bolts missing, the wrong balance tube (not what I brought them on the engine), and minor things like that now that I have started digging around under the hood. On the plus side the engine is strong and the overall build is solid. They did tell me that I would lose my VTC when they welded my gears, I just didnt know what that meant at the time and the explainiation I was given was "a slight loss in the midrange but nothing noticeable." The fact the welds didnt hold, and the attention to detail was not there is what im upset about.
