Asking or expecting the machinist to be paid by the vendor is not right either. You've all heard the phrase s*it flows downhill (?) It's true. Everyone in sucsession has an obligation to the next in line. The originator (who cast the block) has the greatest exposure. I hate seeing or over hearing people get the "Two Step" when someone else has made a mistake.

Rick,
I bought the block directly from the manufacturer. The manufacturer sold me the block, the manufacturer gave the go ahead to machine the block. The manufacturer IS the vendor.
