Yoda's Turbo Log

Ok so there is a problem. The shop in Miami whoever they used to do my engine fucked up. All the clearances are off. If I put it together now it's all gonna be loose. My options are at the moment is to sleeve it for $700 or get a new block and start over. Want to bash there heads in but it's an expensive learning lesson. Thinking I might just sleeve it n have it rock solid. But money is an issues now.

Whats loose? Bearings, piston to bore clearance, ring gap some of this is fixable. If the engine is not in the car its not to late.

Then again a sleeved short block is also nice. I can tell you that will also have added expense as I am finding out. I really need a stand alone $$$$ to make the most out of my motor. My piston to bore clearance is a little loose but so far it runs great and does not burn a drop of oil :)
