Oh I know I just wanted it to look pretty for some pictures haha. I will have all four mounted when I start assembling. I'm gonna send a picture to zzp and ask if they will warranty it.. I'm gonna ask the guy if he will refund some money too... if not maybe a paypal dispute I don't know..

ZZP will not warranty that. If you read the other guys build thread he had a bearing failure. Just failed to mention the rod went down with it.
Edit: Found the post. Note to self, don't use his machine shop lol
"went to dyno and car had a ton of blowby and made a whopping 190whp at 3800rpm the rings didn't seat so it wouldn't hold anymore and when I was tearing it down to replace rings I found the rod bearings were starting to go had the rods checked by local machine shop they said they were good and I don't feel like dumping anymore money into it for something else to go wrong. prolly end up putting a LE5 bottom end with L61 head and a M62 and just daily the car."

that rod looks similar to mine in the cylinder that I spun a rod bearing on (only not as bad). i'd be surprised if its not out of round. why chance it and risk doing it all a 3rd time?
this is why I buy mostly zzp parts very upstanding guys.
