there is no way in the world i would buy a engine out of the states ive heard and seen so many horror storys not just from KC but many other's ,
we have so many talented engine builders here in Australia and with the dollar been what it is you may as well spend your money here . engine builders like bill mann and john sydney peter Michaels zoks race engines just to name a few off the top of my head . then there are plenty of smaller engine shops that turn out some killer engines like c&m engines in Adelaide just a one man shop but been in the game a long time and takes pride in his work ..
sorry to see your engine appears to have suffered the same fate as damages engine and hopefully it can be repaired and back in the car .
cheers dean
