Well thats a long story, played out on another thread here, but to sum it all up.
bad lifter cause lpop to go out. upon tearing it down the cam was bad. So i had heads checked and both were apparently warped and one had small crack. A longblock for me was about the only option i had. Money being the biggest issue.

i suppose. depending on if they needed a front cover or not or replaced oil cooler and labor rate of whomever if they dont do it them selves.
and this is by no means bashing any engine builder,
i cant imagine anyone really ever getting a full core refund. the reason one buys this like myself is my heads are bad, my cam's shot. if they werent this would of got rebuilt. they deduct so much for all the bad parts they can't reuse. and they are all different.

Remember, if AE gives you a refund on the core, they paid shipping and gave a refund. Thus, AE actually pays $1,250 for a core if they refund the full $1,000 (Assuming shipping is $250).
Still, seems to me AE has to give you something for your core or AE should ship it back to you.
