Im no pro but whenever I use hardblok I use it on both banks. I pour it in,tap the block slightly to ensure a consistant fill then bolt a set of torque plates or heads on as it dries. I would hardblok the otherside also. Sounds like a half azz job to me.Literally. Fill the other side to the same level as the filled side. Normally hardblock is used before any machining is done.Personally I would be pissed and would be on a 3 year retirement for a severe boot stomping.
