A friend told me a one but I ended up going to another that was closer, lesson learned. I won't bother with that store anymore im going to put the engine aside for a bit since i plan on getting a 240z in a few days. Still hurts that they would say one thing and do another

They say they hot tank it, as far as it is clean outside but is weird to me that is not cleaned the paint

Yes, that's the main reason I send it to get hot tank, maybe if I had it baked instead, but is too late. I wish I had more to reduce that but the passages are as clear as they are goinf to get. Crosshatch I think could have been done better, looks kind of wavy not straight.

I got the engine back and although they cleaned the cylinders I expected more on the hot tank. Is my first time so idk if is supposed to look like that

Hopefully, definitely learned a lesson on this one. I wanted to run one of those myself but at this point just leave it to them and start rebuilding soon.

I can feel the surface difference on the cylinders, they will measure the clearances, I never been to a shop before. Hopefully no need to bore. Im not certain on how much sleeving could cost

I took the engine appart planning on replacing seals and honing the cylinders since i bought the engine alone. Couple of things got in the middle and florida weather did his thing. Is it salvageable by honing only or is boring needed? I plan on going to a machine shop with him today but i dont know what to expect. In case of boring does it mean that new pistons are required?
