That’s a real drag. Spend your time and money expecting a good job and they try to rob ya. Sux. I’ve been watching your build and this thread to determine if I want to rebuild or go with the LS and 6L90. Dreaming about GM selling their new 3.0L six banger diesel and the 10 spd trans. Doubt it happens but the dream is big. Hope you get your beast taken care of soon and minor extra cash.
If you rebuild, use all OEM parts, no exceptions unless you know it's from a very trusted brand. No re-boxers, only buy direct from brands that make their own stuff. AVOID Safety Auto Corp and all their parts, they are a huge aftermarket rebuilder parts source. Have the machine work done at a racing shop that builds custom engines and frets over the details, then fret over them yourself when you assemble it.
I used some other high quality after market parts that I've very happy with (silicon hoses, Cometic MLS head gasket, ARP head studs, etc...) but the head was one area I left to the 'experts', didn't do my own research and now I'm paying the price.
