Machine shop botched gear bearings
I just picked up S5 stationary gears from a machine shop. I had new bearings pressed in them....I believe they ruined them. I'll get some pics up as soon as I can. The rear is particularly bad. One real "nice" scar and several smaller and less deep scars. The hole for oil passage is off centered. The press in tab is also of course off center and when they pressed that in they did a little damage to the gear.
The front isn't nearly as bad..but it's still not pretty.
I'll get pics up ASAP

What is most frustrating is that it took them 3 weeks to do that kind of work. When I dropped them off he said to pick them up in the AM. I actually forgot about them and a week and a half later I stop in to get them. Not done and he's not on property. I call next day and he says he'll have them in the AM. I call next day they're not done and he's not on property. A week later I call and he tells me to pick them up next morning...and that's the work they did.
I'm taking them back to him on Monday to show him the damage. I'm expecting a refund on labor and him to buy me new bearings.

Taking them back on Monday got delayed by my work schedule. Talked to him today. The owner insists he'd use those engine parts if it were him, but agreed to replace my bearings. Going thru my local Mazda dealership to speed up the process.
I should have my bearings by Friday. Get them pressed by a different shop early in the next week.
