Default F'in RETARDS

Well...the retards who ported and polished my warrior I guess...according to my mechanic...said that when they put the head back on they forgot to put a dowel pin or somethin in causing the head to shift a little bit. When this happened the piston was rubbing up against the head gasket causing it to blow. When the guys ported...they said everything looked great. NOW I guess the piston and cylinder are scored so I need a new piston and it needs bored. My mechanic said it probably ran low on oil causing the scoring. I checked my oil everyday and it was fine. Could the blown headgasket of caused this. I didnt run it at all with a blown head gasket. Could there have been a slow leak and than it blew all the way. Anyways... I have the stroker kit and everything...what piston should I get. It had a je 10.75 to 1 in it before. How big should I go 10 or 20 over. Wiseco or JE

WELL...This is what they are gonna do. They are gonna bore the cylinder .020 over and Im getting a wiseco piston for 60 dollars. So that makes me a little more happy.

If they assembled the motor though, its their fault. You shouldnt have to pay for their mistake. Take it to another mechanic and ask him what he thinks caused the scoring. Preferably an old guy.
