Karl, Thanks for the information! I am actually almost done reassembly on this motor but will keep those shops in mind when I build my turbo motor, as the turbo motor will not have any shortcuts on it. Such as swapping cam towers. Thanks again for the info!!

There is no shop that I know of, or have been able to find, that is remotely close to me that I would trust to undersize/ Line-bore the head. I have no access to the snap gauges needed to measure the inner diameter of the towers. I feel that there are discrepancies in the blasted towers that will keep me from using them in their current state. Another set of towers were sourced today to replace the blasted ones. thanks for everyone who responded -Ben

Thank you Everyone for chiming in. The engine shop told me to piss off when I went back to ask for a refund. This shop was recommended to me by various people whom I will be contacting to let know. I don't know of any other engine shops in the baton rouge area nor do I have the money at the moment to send it off. I will be sourcing another set of towers from a local source to continue my rebuild. Thanks -Ben

Al Retief's engine repair on hwy 621 in Gonzales Louisiana is the shop that did it....

I have a friend in town with a motor I can pull another set of towers off of, Just trying to figure out best path to take. And I will be seeking a full refund on the work done. This should have never happened

I recently took my cylinder head to a local engine shop to get cleaned up and for the tolerances to be checked. When I got it back everything looks good except that they sandblasted the inside of my cam towers. Aside from getting my money back, I am unsure how to proceed in my rebuild. Im not sure there is enough material left for it to be align bored again, Or would it be better to source the cam towers from another engine..

I hope the owner of that Z enjoys trying to get all of the small bits of metal that are now in his paint due to that "mechanic" using a grinder and not covering anything.
