Your missing my point, if your paying someone to build the motor they should break it in, that way if there is a problem it can be fixed right away.........not 4-5 months later at your house after you put the motor in.

Maybe just me, i dont have enough experience breaking in a motor and screwing it up at anywhere between 7-10 grand $$, and then pulling the motor out again to restart the whole deal again.

I dont expect this service for free, but im willing to pay a professional that broke in the motor and said no issues

You dont have to search much on this forum to find plently cam and lifter failures
