66gteeo,

glad to hear that it has worked out very well in your favor. Obviously, your were dealing with an individual (machinist) that has a lot of business ethics. It is good on your behalf that you delt with him in a civilized manor as well. A lot of people would blown a head gasket and went after him with both barrels even before learning what caused the problem. This whole ordeal could have gotten out of hand and the end result being the machinist not standing behind his work and you being out of extra money to have the block repaired by someone else. Kudos to the both of you for how this unfortunate incident was handled.
