my car is not in the shape where i will put an 8k motor in it, and i was overall surprised. is this an anomaly, and does anyone else share his view?

My personal take on the remarks made at the shop in Houston is hogwash. My machinist (Brian at Bearing Service Portland) avoids #14's as policy but has many success stories (including mine) under his belt. I guess Mercedes heads are what separate men from boys in the realm of the machinist.
