chevguy65 I know what you are talking about. Its times like these that people find out what kind of engine builders we are giving our hard earned money to. But I believe that we are at the beginning of a turning point of our time with these matters. Because of the Internet and these Forums. So we can tell each other where not to go. Unfortunately there will be lots more money lost before we find them all and wish these lessons was not made from your money. Wesley

I know all about trying to find a good price on everything for my project. Being from Canada very often the pricing is high here. Even with the Canadian doller as good as it is, the prices don't change mutch. I was cosidering ordering an engine from dyno flow. After reading everything here i have changed my mind. I will support my local machine shop and buy from him. It will cost a little more, but if there is a problem i know he will look after me. And i will feel good that i supported local buiseness.

That is unless you want to buy from dynoflow, get the engine, pull it apart and build it all over again. That is what Scot says you need to do if you buy one of his engines.
Otherwise it is a POS that is incorrect bore and it will have a mystery bolt issue where he will let it out the door with incorrectly torqued bolts.

My brother inlaw bought a 598 shortblock from Dynoflow 3years ago.That same motor has been in 3 cars and never has missed a beat.This year will be the first time it's been freshened up since new.Maybe he's a lucky one.I've been thinking about a short block from them for my self.Are they still having problems or have they straightened them out?

I would look at someone else for your engine.
Scot has done absolutely nothing to rectify this matter and I doubt he ever will.
Your brother in law defiately got lucky.
Personally I would not trust scot to build a model engine for me.
It is up to you but if you use him and get screwed, just remember you were warned ahead of time.
