^^^^Funny post.
I recon' J' has been up front about everything. Some people just like to get their knikkers in a twist. Move on.

This "he said this, they said that" discourse isn't constructive. The facts are: you assembled it incorrectly (not only the sequence, but also the torque values) and you abused it (speed-shifting at redline...something you said was a bad habit), and it broke. That SHOULD be the end of the story.
This ill-advised internet psuedo-autopsy smacks as an attempt to implicate wrongdoing by the person that sold you the 351 kit. That's skating on thin ice.

If JHoffy would have stuck to what he said back on 7/6, where he stated that there are too many variables involved in order to know exactly what occurred, I wouldn't have said anything, because that statement seems correct.
It was making statements regarding reported phone calls to Mr. Blue, which seem in opposition to statement reportedly given by a new, un-named mechanic, that pushes his discourse across the line for me.
Just sign me as "Knickers in a wad" if you like....

Okay, so I went back and reviewed 87 & 89. I'm still not following you. How is that an "attempt to implicate wrongdoing"? Seems to me he's just keeping us updated on his communications with his various contacts regarding the cylinder.

...and JHoffy explains that this is what he's doing. I stated that it's "skating on thin ice" because JHoffy's REPORT of one mechanic's statements verses another individual's REPORTED statements can lead to all sorts of implications.
If this unknown mechanic and Mr. Blue want to have their statements on this thread, let them make them. JHoffy is not providing enlightening information by putting both men's (I'm assuming the unknown mechanic is a man...I could be wrong) statements as opposing one another's respective opinions. JHoffy states he "trusts" this unknown mechanic, then types a statement supposedly made by this mechanic that the sleeve installation was done incorrectly. That is an implication that Mr. Blue didn't do the job right, and someone JHoffy "trusts" says so.
THAT, to me, is skating on thin ice.
It's just my opinion. JHoffy already said that he didn't intend to be placing blame....gotta take him at his word on his intentions.

As far as Jhoffy, can we agree to disagree?

Could someone explain this IowaGuy thing. I've seen this in a few threads and I have no idea what it means.

I simply expressed my opinion, then, responded to a request for further explanation. I have no problem with the results of the exercise, nor with anyone that chose to participate in it or to ignore it. I also have no problem with being said to have my knickers in a twist....I thought it was funny, in a British-sort of way.
