Crank thrusted excessively...I forget how much. Tom and I changed it out though...no issues after the crank issue go fixed. There was a decent amount of material in the pan as well. He didn't get it running until after he got home though.

Btw, any engine that comes though our shop will have 'AES' and deck height stamped on the block deck. I take it yours did not have these?

Perhaps RGR? Not trying to get in the middle of this, just want to know who to use next. And who to rule out. If its RGR this would be the 2nd time in the past month I am hearing bad things about. If you wish not to fully disclose you can always PM me. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Tom. I've been following your build for a while because we both have the APS kit with better turbos, just on different platforms.

Would you mind shooting me a PM of the engine builder as I may be in the market for a motor soon.

Companies nowadays will do anything to cover their asses. Even if they are at fault. Guess they will say is; tough luck, there are no warranties on race items.
