I'm jealous! I was thinking of going short block for a lot of reason but sent the motor in a rebuilder. The jealous part is I might have had the short block by now and installed. I am very comfortable wqith the machine shop doing the rebuild and like always -Patience is the best avenue. Glad to hear your satisfied and have have no vibrations
