yes it my opinion........the shortblock sit for 18 months......how hard is it to double check things.......jack leg i say.......it never had a chance with the "mechanic" doing it his way...... :lol:
Bottom line is, the man PAID for an assembled shortblock...HE SHOULDNT HAVE TO!
If you have your oil changed at the service station and you drive off and the motor locks up becouse they forgot to put oil back into it are you going to say, "Ol' well.....its not a big deal guys, I should have double checked you." Hell no, you would want someone to fix the engine. Same as here. Man mad a mistake, maybe it was his only mistake ever, but it doesnt matter. TRY to make it right.
I think passing the buck is worse than screwing up in the first place.
