His fuck up caused 2 spun connecting rod bearings on my Olds 350 after only 2300 miles so I can feel this guys pain. Mike was unwilling to work with me other than a small discount on labor. I had to buy all new pistons and rings, 2 connecting rods, whole new oversized bearing kit, cam bearings and of course, cleaning/magnafluxing the block and crank at a cost of just over $1000. From what we could tell, 2 wrist pins were installed too tight and the bearings couldn't take the strain.

There are MUCH better places in town that can do the work for your friend, I wouldn't let Butcher's touch my lawnmower if they were the last shop in town......

x3 for rocket. I've never heard a bad thing about them (especially regarding the Olds motors), but I did have my motor gone over (not assembled) by NVR in Butler and never had a problem with their work/parks in over 5 years. Easy to work with and he's seen plenty of Butchards fuck ups. Originally Posted by Smokey1226
