Yes. Well. Bad news, but not totally surprising.

My 2c is that unless there are engine building receipts from a known good builder, there is no such thing as "it's just been rebuilt - so it can't be that...."

Yeh, in fact it almost makes it MORE likely to be that.

I checked up on the company before buying the car and everything looked good. Nobody had complained about their work, but as I also got to know, this was their first build like this.. And there's no explanation on how they managed to hone all cylinders wrong. 

At least the company I have used now for my new block has been building a lot of high power Volvo engines that has been used in dragsters, and they have bored some rb's and sr's recently.
