Message send it out and get the whole engine rebuilt again by a reputable engine builder. You could get the head rebuilt and put it back together, it may run great, may spin a bearing 2,000 miles down the road. You're pretty much rolling the dice at this point. Not knowing what he actually did to the engine (machining tolerances, piston sizes, etc.) there is no way of knowing what the "acceptable compression" should be.

I pulled this off a Toyota forum:

DO NOT USE MOTORTIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they are run by a guy named arley leghorn...had to shut down his other motor company to start this one...google him.

i got one of his engines and later found out about his deal after trying for over 3 months (he told me 10 days when he loaded my block directly onto his truck when dropping the new off) to get my deposit back. D-BAGS the whole time. when he dropped off my engine from the back of his truck it was sitting on the crank and it had dug into to the plywood it was sitting on from the 4 hour drive bouncing around. the cam grind was pretty bad too. I could go on about how bad the experience sucked...didnt get the refund until I threatened to call the better business...please dont buy from them. how long has he been in business and his website is still under construction???

there is a nissan Z forum that has a bunch of people who have said basically the same thing too.

NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Based on that, I would not expect him to be able to properly deliver any kind of reliable product for any vehicle let alone rebuilding an engine.

IMO if you decide to roll the dice, probably going to come up snake eyes.
