Default TTP praise!!

Well as most of you know, my SS has been at TTP for a while but I finally got it back. Basically what happened is whoever put the enginet together the first time, forgot to put the oil pickup O-ring back in correctly and it got sucked up and clogged the system, starving the engine of oil and spinning a bearing. While taking the car apart, they found at least 2 bad pistons, had the crank cut, 1 new rod, ect ect ect... But I got my car back last week, and i just wanted to say that TTP is a great place to do business. Matt helped me out bigtime with prices and called me with every detail and always let me know how things were going. I appricate the time they took in the detail work and there "do it right" attitude. The car made good power too. I think it will be up there for their head/cam package next winter. So, thank you again matt, and george, and everyone up there.

Wow, sounds like that engine was a mess.

LVD is coming around, good way to put the new engine to work!

Congrats on the rebuilt motor, I've heard nothing but good things about TTP!

I've read that with newer ring and bearing technology it's better to break-in a little harder... Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
