Sadly guys 2nd time was not the charm. Glad it did happen now than later, but found out Ryan from shook motorsports can talk a great game but is full of his ability to build an engine or install a haltech stay away from him. write up and pics coming soon in bad business section.

Sorry to read about this, but it makes me glad I live close to PFS. I feel bad for you guys who aren't near any reputable shops.

Did Howard ever figure out exactly what caused this?

It really sucks to see this happen buddy.

I hope you don't give up and shove a V8 in there.....

Thanks guys for the support, howard did take my engine apart and found so many things wrong with my engine build it wasn't even funny.

From all the seal clearances and torque specs and no back lash in engine. Sadly again i found another shitty builder and lost thousands again, i will be doing a write up on ryan shook motorsports non engine building and hack job on my car in the bad business section soon as i get a break from work.

Oh yeah howard rebuilt my engine to the correct specs and will be back in the car within the next few days. Thank you Howard for all the help!!
