Jeez, the shop that rebuilt your engine must've really blown thru the installation of the o-rings and or the tubes themselves. After having done mine recently in my build, it would seem you'd have to be really rough or sloppy to tear one of the Viton o-rings.

Maybe the builder didn't take the time to lube before slapping on the cam towers? That seems to me to be the only way you could screw up that many. They take a bit of pressure to push the tubes into the case and the tower, but nothing excessive that would cause harm IF they were lubed. Any other problems with the new engine?

I'd say that I'd at least make the shop install the replacements with the motor in place, but if they couldn't do it right with the engine on the stand with new/clean parts, then what are the chances they'd do it right this time? I'm not trying to sound like a know-it-all here, it is just that I was at this point in my build a couple of weeks ago, so its fresh in my mind.
