Morning Steve,

I hate saying sorry, but sorry I didn't respond sooner, no excuses.. but either way, I'm back. I never was good on email, a phone call is always the best way to get my attention.. but even that can be an adventure..

If you are needing to build a motor and looking for options, I would suggest using either us or a reputable Buick V6 builder. These 2500 shipped motor are more than likely just a basic, as cheap as possible, non turbo motor. You spend considerably more for a legit motor, but it will be right with quality parts. The cam bearings will most likely have a groove on the back side allowing the oil to get to where it needs to be no matter what the location. The main parts you could reuse are the rods, crank and block, depending on what the pistons are. We pretty much use only the diamond pistons when we rebuild. Are you pistons stock or have they been replaced and if so, what bore and brand?
