thats how i felt,i could not take a close clear picture but look at the ss bolt in the 2nd picture you can see how it stretched i felt so bad for the kid, i gave him a set of used itr pistons for his motor lol.. but am happy good news is its running perfect for him now with no problems......OH i forgot i went to talk to the people that did the work the the guy mark is in jail i guess he made a spare key for someones car and tried to steal it and was caught..

I don't think it was a shop...it was probably someone doing work out of their garage.
