Should a complete 4 mil built motor have oil in it when pick it up from shop?

I would take that experience as a "lesson learned" situation.

 

You now know to check fluids in any engine that you have had worked on by someone else.

 

Your builder seems to be a little on the sketchy side. For example, he could've told you to add fluids, how to break in, etc. Might want to find a different builder, if possible.

wow  thats some shit!!!

 

IF entire bike was dropped off  motor was built and installed in bike and was stated "ready to ride"  it should have had oil in it.  it shouldh have had gas in it  it shouljd have been strapped to their damn dyno and ran for at least 15 minutes and broke in then checked for issues..  

 

IF engine was dropped off and built then handed back to said customer in a box, crate bla bla bla  it should have been handed over with new plugs, and 2 quarts of bottom end oil and instructed to install in frame, use this oil, fill with bla bla gas/ oil mix, run the bike  after running for a few hours drain oil and refill with what you want to run. OR asked customer before time what kind of oil he would like to run and either make suggestions or supplied with 2 qts of that prefer'd oil at time of pickup..  

 

this is just what i do PLUS i usually offer to tune/ jet/ check condition of install after customer installs motor in chassis to make sure they are happy with the bike.   its costs more but in the end your going to be way happier with a setup that is stated as ready to rip then trying to pull your hair out tunning..     

 

shit does happen parts failure wise  but usually not if you use high quality parts.  most fails after rebuilds,  i have seen over the years was from going against what i suggested seal, gasket or hard part wise considering the usage of the motor.
