I was under the impression that IAG would do a teardown but from their email it seems they finished it. wasnt the most detailed of emails so i asked if they did a teardown and did vacuum tests on the seats.

I'm assuming that they also assembled it.

They machined and assembled them. Sent it back to me and i installed it onto the short block.

Hmmm, okay. Thanks for the info on that.

I didnt check this time but i did check them 1 month before issues arose and they were exactly what i set them to last time in this thread
