It sounds like it will just be a better idea to get another shortblock. I'm still unsure of the reason that this happened but am very curious, being that it's two years old. When this is rebuilt, should I be very sceptical of the hybrid's reliability? Or is this most likely something that could have been avoided, such as cleanliness of the assembly as posted above? On the bright side of things, I can now get my Spec flywheel installed for free. My last question is...should I have the new block bored or leave it alone? I read that boring can cause longevity issues, or is that mostly with extreme situations with boost and such? Thanks again.
