Angry Another problem with my GE Sleeved block.

Well i finally got my motor fired last night once again in the turbo coupe. My excitement ended quickly when i noticed oil pouring out the front of my block. Upon further investigation i found that there is a BB sized hole in my block behind where the dipstick goes. This was not there before i sent the block back to GE for resleeving. because the motor wasnt leakink oil before. The last time it was the sleeves leaking coolant. FUCK GOLDEN EAGLE!!!! I would think they pressure tested it or would have noticed this before sending my block back. this motor has been the biggest headache of my life. I talked to Punkinterviews(Chris) last night to tell him the problem. I dont think there is much he can do. Once i pull the turbo back off along with everthing else i'm going to take a picture of this hole for Chris to send to GE. I'm now left with resorting to JB weld of som other epoxy to fix the hole. I have already rebuilt this motor now twice because of GE. Luckly the hole isnt under pressure. It is a passage for the oil to return. Still now im at the point that in going to put epoxy on a motor that i have Thousands of $$$$'s in that i have not cut corners on. The only alternitive is to pull the motor again. Could you imagine if i had to pay for all that labor. How much would it cost to pay someone to pull a motor 2 times and rebuild it 3 times? Needless to say if GE was closer i would be at their front door to put my size 12 up their ass!!!
