I hope you arent saying thats its my problem that I didnt notice that JD missed a problem or its my responsibility to understand and overcome why my engine was not setup right from the get go. Give me break.
The pistons may have hit the valves when the timing chain let go, I dont rule that out, but it explain anything else.

Eric, you said the car slowed down. So at one time, something was different. Something changed.. Was the tune correct in the beginning and something changed??? What made the car slow down??? Eric, I'm not trying to start any trouble here, I'm just trying to tell you guys from a guy that been in this stuff for 35 years, that you have to be on your toes for minor problems, or they become major!!!

On the car slowing down -- I thought it was my driving skills. People have often commented that I am a very slow shifter. Thats why I asked fireball to drive it. I didnt want any excuses why the car wouldnt run the numbers. I heard no detonation on any of the runs.
The video was not doctored, just look at it again. The first video was screwed up because the sound was compressed when he changed the format. This has been already discussed. There was no missed shift, but that is not the reason why the motor failed anyhow so throwing that in now makes no logical argument.
Sh*t does breaks, especially when it wasnt set up properly in the first place.

If you have a vacuum leak this will cause a lean condition and detonation. Now the engine is making noise. Want to bet there is piston damage.

I don't have any access to JPR's stuff only JD's. I agree with problems with JPR. That's all he is, is a problem. But you said you paid JD's for a $800.00 for a clutch install. You got a clutch master cly and crank pulley too for $800.00. Why do you resort to name calling. I have never offended anyone on here by calling them names. Grow up!!

dont try and pick on me. i chimed in to add to the list of unhappy customers. i am not spreading false info, so dont call me out. and yes, a couple of other items were on the list as well, but i kept it short and sweet. teh point i wanted to come across was the fact that i still had to shell out after all was paid for.
and with a little research, i can get have access to all your personal info. would you like me to post your phone numbers and ssn and cc numbers? just cuz you have access doesnt mean you can post it at your will. keep my info between him and i please. thank you.
