Serious question, what is wrong with your thumbnail?

my mom used to read me a book when I was a kid called "abiyoyo" it was about a giant ogre that never trimmed his nails.  When ever I see long coke nails it bring me back to my childhood days being read that book. ah the memories

All you have to do is show up and race the peeps you've been talking shit. We post every race we will be at and encourage competition. But you've made it abundantly clear every time that you've no intent on doing so.

From who?

Not wanting to mention any names yet, also I dont like the back and forth bitching but some people just dont honor their word. Maybe I am on the wrong here with my way of thinking but the situation was a follows;

Sent a couple of cylinders to get ported, bore job and  brand new pistons. Got them back in a timely manner. I took my time assembling the engine. Once I tried to slide the cylinders over the pistons, they were very tight. I was using the ProX pistons and they come with a expander second ring so I thought thats why they were tight. Should of measured the cylinders myself . 

Got the motor together and it ran fine without any problems. Took for a spin at light throttle and it seemed ok.  A few weeks I  took it to another builder to get it tuned. Builder stated that the motor did not want to rev out and something was holding it back. I still thought it was those darn expander rings.

Builder took the motor apart and told me that whoever bored out the cylinders had bored them too small. So pistons were scorned and not salvageable and cylinders needed to be bored again.

Contacted the person that did the job and he was honest said he was sorry. But I mentioned it to him maybe he could reimburse me for some of the cost of rebuilding the top end again. He said he would try to help me out. Didnt hear from him for two weeks. He said he was still trying some work from other people and if someone would pay him, he would cut me a piece.

That was Sept 7 and still havent heard anything for him.

Well, since you posted this in a KAN thread, is it safe to assume it is about him?

Did you send the pistons to the builder when it was bored?

This... if you didnt... then you would be liable to check piston to wall clearance as well as ring end gap.... if everything was in builders hands.. then USUALLY they would verify its all within spec

Yup, learning as I go. It was a costly mistake but he should of measured them since he had the pistons, as I should of too.
