Unhappy I cant belive it.

I was supposed to go to the dyno today for my motor that was just completed for my turbo coupe. Yesterday i found coolant all in my oil. I couldnt find what the problem was. Late last night i found out that one of the sleeves is cracked or leaking were you cant see it. I had the block at a machine shop nothing was discovered. I guess were one of the sleeves is pressed or glued in it is leaking. I'm completely fed up. I have spent a fortune on all new parts to build it only to find out i have to pull the motor back out and completely tear it down and have it fixed/resleeved. Especially because i bought this motor so i wouldnt have to do this. I have athe old GSR motor still on the stand. I guess it will be a few more months on this never ending project. Anytime i have tried to take a short cut like buying a used sleeved block it has bit me in the ass!!. It isnt not the persons fault who sold it to me because i dont think they knew but this whole situation just sucks
