ok so you guys all know i got the 6 bolt swap into the awd about 2 months ago. so i drove it for a while(350) miles and started smoking out exhaust so i checked the plugs there was oil on one so im thinking ok to much boost for those piston rings so we pull it off yesterday and im done with it go to bed get up this morning go in there looking at it and i notice there is a ditch in cyl 1 wtf apparently the rod bearing is toucing the cyl and has dug this huge ditch in my cyl so its almost as if the machine shop didnt even pres the bearings so now im so **** because i have to go back and rebuild the 7 bolt because my 6 bolt block that i put 3 months of work into is now completeley f'ed up so now im taking my block to them and im saying remember this block well its the one your paying me 600 dollars for.

yeah def make the shop pay for that shat.

u have a warentee right? if so they should replace the whole motor under their costs

Holy run on sentence...

did it toss a rod up into the cylinder or did the wrist pin slide out of the small end of the rod and gouge the cylinder?

did you use stock rods with aftermarket pistons?
