This is the same swap that I've been working on for the last month, after fixing problem after problem with the swap not being done right by the first two mechanics, I finally got it running in time to discover that the engine rebuild was done at about the same quality. So out it comes again.

The engine stripped down:

Closeup of the cylinder walls. This is with about 40 minutes of run-time, and there is NO crosshatch pattern visible at all.
