The response from the shop friday was
62 psi on the front rotor
And
63 psi on the back rotor
At this point of course we have compression issues after 1500 miles! Well today the engine will be parted out and check for the problem ( i was told most likely the side seals) , at this point i really want my car back asap to finally enjoy it!
Bought also a new clutch and a new flywheel because the old ones looks like that will not handle the power!
Racing beat flywheel and act clutch!

This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't be mixing friendship with business.......
As always, there are 2 sides to every story and it seems things are being left out which makes others perceive things incorrectly. I know BOTH parties involved and can say they are BOTH good people. This situation should be resolved Among themselves and NOT on this forum..
What I can add to this unfolding DRAMA is that "cr7684" and I have assembled approximately 6 motors together with NO issues.... One of them is in my personal car that gets BEAT like a redheaded step child and it still runs flawlessly, also put down 556Hp to the wheels on a Mustang Dyno....
Can something happen during a rebuild build ? YES... No one is perfect and mistakes happen..... But the biggest FAULT that cr7684 had is that he listened to the owners input instead of following his experience.....
Some times these owners go onto forums and get misguided on the direction they should go, They insist that what they READ is always true and insist that it is what they want... "It's on the internet so it MUST be TRUE" syndrome...so no matter what the builder says they keep on wanting what they THINK is correct, and this seems to be the case here....
One thing I can say I know for sure is that some of us local rotor heads questioned the owner on why he was insisting on keeping things a certain way, we informed him to consider making changes for the better but he stood his ground on what he wanted....
Good Luck to everyone and hopefully it goes well for all.....

Yesterday i got the call from the mechanic! He open up the engine and he was shocked! Anything was in tolerance! The flywheel bolts where loose and any of the 12 side seals were cutted right! They were cutted over 10 more times over tolerance or something like that! Corner seals stuck!
Well at this point we find the problem! At this point his advice was to reedo everything! So new apex seals new corner new everything! Lets try again!
Next week if we are lucky we will get the parts and assemble the engine!
Thank god the engine run so low (1580 miles) that i don't ruin my housings!
Again i'm excited!
