OK here's my 2 cents, Before you spend a lot of money on lawers take a day trip down to Coast and talk to the OWNER. Make your case and except a motor that meets your specs even if it is based on the orginal build. It would be resonable to ask for a warrenty that covers the face that they will rebuild your motor with new correct pistons and all related parts and extend the warrenty period to make up for the fact that they will be reuseing the crank, block etc.

I would not worry to much about a 11 to 1 motor that was run only for a few short mins as long as there was no valve interference or other dammage.

Maybe you can get them to include a dyno run for customer service/satisfaction. Again lawers will not only extend the lenght of time you take to get this resolved but will surely cost you more money in the end.

I don't have any relation to Coast or whatever it is called, I would just like to see you get it resolved without any more pain on your part.

Good luck.
