Okay so they ordered the wrong pistons and it messed it all up Long story short I switched to a billet Oliver rod and am upgrading the turbo's to 67s I project the car to easily make over 1k hp now

I know 1000 rwhp will be easy but I'd like to turn it up and see 1200-1300 rwhp

I'm so livid still no engine. LME called me today claiming that my eagle stroker crank would not be strong because of the Honda style journals and wanted me to spend more money with them and switch to a cobra crank. I in a very angered voice told them to use my dam crank put my fuc***g Oliver rods on it with my pistons assemble it and send it all to me or they would be getting a visit from me personally.

That sucks! You have too much time investment in this to just now be having to deal with that! What's the big deal on the journals? There are many Honda's turning huge turbo boost on the 4's you're spreading that across 8 cylinders not 4 so logically the Honda journal's shouldn't be a problem. Just my opinion.
And should be twice the holding power due to 4 more cylinders distribution of load. Oliver billet I beams are very strong and you already invested in them.
It could be that lme just have never done the eagle crank and they don't really want to venture. But they should have expressed this before they took the build on...

I'm so tired of waiting it doesn't take this long to build an engine. I even paid up front in cash so money isn't an issue. If this drags on too much longer I'll probably take legal actions.

At first I thoight they were trying to help by assuming the cobra crank they wanted to use was stronger but 10 phone calls and lots of research later the eagle is made of superior material's and in my opinion will be better and have 22 cubic inches more which is what I intended in thr first place.

IIRC the only Honda journal Eagle crank is the cast steel one. At least currently made, maybe they made them all with Honda journals at one time? If you already bought rods to fit it (5.850 or 5.950 for Honda journals) those rods are only going to work with that crank. Same goes for the pistons. Unless they have a Kellogg 3.75 stroker crank the pistons wouldn't be able to be used either.
