I agree with Alana. He paid his money for a competent rebuild, and expects it to be done right. This isn't American Chopper, with its contrived "issues." How many times has the producer of that show said, "We need some drama...conjure up a problem with the primary!" That show is all scripted entertainment...we're dealing with reality here.

When you entrust as much work as Alan did to his mechanic, he should have expected a better result. Especially since it had been run in on the dyno. The mechanic should have thoroughly tested the car for these problems before delivering it. I know a few Brit mechanics that are obsessive about this so that when they deliver the car they are confident that it will motor down the road offering enjoyment and relief about the money spent by the owner. If they aren't sure of it, they won't deliver the car until they are. Even if that means making the customer wait. It sounds more like Alan's mechanic got the engine back from the dyno runs and rushed getting it back together and didn't do any real testing or troubleshooting as he was too pre-occupied with getting it out of his shop. Paying for a professional service should result in a professional result.
