Repo Man I have one of Rick 's blocks I had a little trouble with the pushrod holes bored wrong,I had to make a few trips to Rockhill S.C. to get it straightened out but I got it up and running and doing fine,Im having a little trouble,when it gets to telve hundred rpms it just shuts down,electronics is tough on a shade tree mechanic. Rick and his dad run a excavating business in Rockhill S.C.,I think Rick has personal problems as we speak,he and his dad are good people,I think if you be patient Rick will get his act together and take care of loose ends.If you can't wait call Alan Schooler in Princeton Mo. he is familiar with problens with this block (very) and can straighten it out and get it up and running for you,of coarse it will be extra expense on your part ,but all you got now is a high price boat anchor,also Jerrys Machine shop in Witchita,Ks. can help you get it straightened out. You will have to set block up on a CNC milling machine and bore pushrod holes out,they will be elongated when finished but that want hurt anything,also the big rectangulur hole in the water jacket is to large,what I did was take J.B. Weld and make it the size I wanted then coated the inside of water jacket with an industrial epoxy.The pushrods furnished were hollow and they bent,I replaced them withsolid Thompson Steel rods with ball bearings welded to each end,that took care of that problem. The cam gear has to be faced off to a thickness of .495 with the teeth that is next to cylinder has to be rounded off just slightly(by the way I'm using a 1" steel spacer between case and block to aid in clearance with cam gear. It looks like the block want fit,but you will have to grind down side of cylinders on pulley side and flywheel side for clearance,I had to use some JB weld on pulley side where I came thru case just slightly you can't tell by looking. I can go on and on with little problems but it was worth the headackes,this electronic problem is giving me fits,I'll hook on to sled and go fify feet and it will shut down then start right back up,soon as I hit 1200 rpms down she goes again,I'll find it if I down wear engine out first starting it . If I can be of assistance feel free to call me 1-859-744-1049 or e-mail me,I'm not to computer literate so contact me if I can be of help. Gman 817 By the way this engine has 817 cubic inches
