Purchase problem CNC Bow Tie block from AIRVEGAS
Here is the story
I purchased a unused CNC Bow Tie block here on RJ. The seller says it was assembled but never used. After shipping the block across the country I get the block and notice that what should be nice smooth cnc machining is all shot blasted including the deck and main registers. The main bore has a fresh line hone. The bore has a fresh hone and is 4.155 as advertised. There is very slight scoring two of the cylinders. Three of the lifter bores have heavy galling. The main caps have been walking and are fretted. Obviously this block has been used.
Here is my opinion what the block needs:
* Bore all lifters to .904 or sleeve the 3 damaged bore.
* resurface the main registers, main caps and line hone
* Repair damaged threads in one oil passage.
The seller say he will refund the purchase price but not the shipping. The shipping is $220 each way.
What would you do?
