"The engine was completely disassembled. When we sent the block out to a reputable machine shop, we were told that the block was so worn that the cylinders would have to be "bored out" 60 thousandths over (the maximum an engine can usually be enlarged). Of course, this also meant trying to find .060" "over" forged pistons. Because this was such an unusual requirement, they had to be made; such are not ordinarily carried in stock.
Next he says he sent my block to be bored out. As I have said previously in another post, Millet's Automotive had already done that back in 1999. If the "reputable machine" told him this, then they aren't reputable at all or Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti just wanted to use the piston excuse as a way of explaining why it took him 7 months to have the engine rebuilt and installed. He probably assumed I didn't know that the block had already been bored out. This guy is just highly unprofessional and/or lacking the intelligence to figure out logistics efficiently and/or just a pure "snake."
The engine did need larger pistons, but as I have said previously, Millet's Automotive bored out the engine, got pistons, and rebuilt the entire engine in 3 weeks. If Millet's Automotive could get the pistons, why couldn't Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti? Well, because I am sure he has a dedicated supplier that he gets "kickbacks" and incentives from. He is more worried about getting his "cut" or family vacations from his supplier, than he is taking care of his customers.
And this next statement he said is just purely laughable. Steve (the "ripper off-er") Colletti says getting the engine bored out is "such an unusual requirement." Anyone reading this right now that is a car enthusiast is laughing as well.
