...nothing to say guys. Nobody has ever opened this engine before - nor the previous customer. I was talking to the phone 5min ago. I know the guy. After all why to open a brand new engine with less that 700miles? The car was with 690miles when I got it...Yes I drove more that 10miles with psi gauge to zero. That is my mistake - but why to fail? That is definitely not my fault. Something was not correct from the very beginning. Anyway....

Theoretically speaking who do you consider a good mechanic to rebuilt that engine? What I can do now is to take the entire engine out and ship t to US (to a good engine builder) and then basically have faith to him that he will do great job. Or if PE and Eric takes responsibility about the mismatched parts to trust him. I am a person that I believe in human errors and 2nd chances...

Another crazy idea, is to ask from that mechanic to come here and rebuilt it here with me. You know to cover the travel expenses and have a week of holidays in Greece etc... :-) This way I will learn also.

Last idea - and I know might sound crazy is to decide that I will learn everything and I will rebuilt it myself very slowly. Of course I will need your input and great help - it might sound crazy now, but this will a life time experience.

Maybe I am upset now - it is logical that my mind is not thinking clear now. I will give a couple of days off and enjoy my life.

Best - Andronikos,
