So yesterday I hooked up the boat to take it out to the lake and do some test and tune on it. I went over to my buddies house and decided to do a little wrenchin there just to check some basics like spark plug gap rocker lash etc... well first thing we noticed is the spark plug gap was way off (this coming back from the engine shop) set to .035 (thousandths of an inch) when it should have been between .018-.020 at the most, so we re-gapped and proceeded. Next thing with the valve covers off we check for rocker lash (it has hydraulic lifters which means zero lash) some had between .010 and .012 and others had none, so yet again red flags are going up. Next we find that the two rockers that are purposely shaved down on one corner to clear the valve cover on a specific location where not where they were supposed to be which caused the valve cover to be shaved down in a couple spots putting metal shavings into the engine. We decide it best to look further and what would you know we found a push rod that was being shaved away by the guides putting even more shavings into the block. we pulled the rocker and found the push rod was inserted upside down. At this point we said screw the lake and backed it up to the garage and took all the rockers off to inspect push rods and found 8 different brands at least out of 16 push rods. several where scarred from the guides as well as some others again upside down on top of that they had different lengths mixed in as well. So anyway went and bought new push rods installed them set the rocker arms and now just have to figure out a day to go test. I'm super pissed cause this came from the engine shop that way and I paid damn good money for what was supposed to be a good engine. Needless to say my buddy will be writing up a bill for parts and labor and I will be sending it the the engine builder for doing a shitty job.
