My recollection of my engine rebuild was I had a few seasons on the engine and even though it was running fine it is always a good idea to freshen them up. Sent it to Bob, paid 15K for the freshen, didn't argue since I trusted him. I don't think it needed much. Smallblock Ford. Oil pump broke off on I think the first lap. A ford pump has a long cast piece and that is what broke. I asked Bob if he put a new oil pump in and he said "No, I was trying to save you money". WTF. 15K and you put the old oil pump in ? My guess is a lunkhead kid he had assembling engines for him dropped and cracked the casting, didn't notice and put it in anyway. Then I got charged again for rebuilding it again but this time he just put bearings and a pump for 5K.
