The latest theory on how my engine ended up in the condition it's in is that the two halves of the block don't match (that is, that someone mixed up my block with another engine half). This is from the machine shop here. The good news is that they think that they can save my heads and my cams.

Ive never worked on a subaru motor in my life until this past month when I just built my forged 2.5 hybrid for my WRX in my own garage by myself and my motor came out sucsessful come on now do you really think its all the machine shop fault!

No, that either Topspeed or their machine shop mixed up my block halves with another engine that they were working on at the same time. If memory serves me, either Decker or Scott said they were building another stroker motor also. If they mixed the halves before they machined the block, it wouldn't matter if it was a stroker or stock bore, the two halves(wherever they came from), got bored out to 100mm bores. We will probably never know for sure what happened, but I do know that they f***** up a perfectly good, almost new 08 motor.

The "wrong block halves" theory was communicated to me by Jeff at S&R and came from the machine shop people, as I understand it. I'm not an engine builder or even a mechanic, just a lawyer who likes to drive fast cars!
