I had my gsr motor built and they didn't know what they were going. They uesd 9.0 Je pistons and Eagle rods. They said they had to shave the pistons to keep them from hitting the valves. Is that even possible with just 9.1 comp psitons? Well I see that theres a circle on the left front corner on the deck, and the deck hasn't been taken down that far. I was told that as long as the deck had not been decked that far then its still within spec . Also the same place on the head wasn't been touched yet either. The motor spun 3 rod bearings and I was trying to see it if was worth just getting a new crack and rods and rebuilding it. Heres some vids and pics

actuality no its not re read your first sentence and to answer your question its only worth it if your willing to do it

 

I was wondering from the pics if the pistons look to close to the deck? The reason I say they didn't know what they were doing is b/c they put the old oil pump and water pump back in. The oil pump failed and thats why it spun rod bearings

 

no the pistons are fine. you need to get your money back though. your gonna need new bearings, rods probably, crank probably. the cylinders are probably screwed with scratches and ****. they are idoits

 

My dads dealing with this since its his car. I already have a new crank and new rods, The cylinder walls are fine and so are the pistons.
