You pay the guy to tune the car and they have you SIGN a legal document stating anything that goes wrong with the car, they are not held responsible. Christ man are you that dumb to just let them go crazy and do whatever? No red flags went off with the lean readings? Did you even notice it? What about the IAT temps? Did you care to watch them? Why do you think the oil pump went south? Just magically pooped because it was powdered metal?
You know not really trying to be mean (even though you called me an idiot lol) but I gave you way more credit than I think I should have before. I thought you were a littler smarter than you seem to be.
Good luck with the new build man, I know it sucks for you and truely sorry the new motor took a dump. Use this as a learning lesson and soak up as much knowledge as you can between now and when you put the new one in.

Anyone who said they don't feel bad about what happened is a liar or doesn't have a human heart, but in reality you sorta got snappy with Kevin before he said anything that could be considered laughing in your face.
Try to be optimistic in the situation, though, the hardest part is over (wiring and all that fitment bullshit), so even if you need a new motor, you just have to drop it in.

I'm sending a link to this thread to a few friends of mine that have more modular experience than me.
Posting pics of the tear down would be helpful.
So far this is questions/statements that have been brought up after one of them read the thread.
How many qts of oil was in the motor and how old was it?
10W-30 should be the thickest oil used, anything heavier than that could starve the oil pump.
When you order new parts for the build, add ARP head studs to the list of upgrades.

6.5qts of ANY brand 5w30 synthetic here. 7100rpms shifts for 12yrs and still have good compression and NO smoke on start up. My motor is the Tracy Lord of racing.
After reading the last 2 pages I will say that in my humble opinion on a FI car 11.5-11.7 AF is ideal. But I don't think the oil ate the motor...most likely it was the tune.
Motors are mainly killed by either RPM or timing.

His answer: Stock 346.
He knows just as well as everybody on here that he bullshits OUT OF HIS *** to downplay his weight reduced/faceplated tranny/LS6 vette motor in his Camaro. His car does what it does and is respectable but as I've said many times, I don't respect it/him near as much as I would if he wasn't so damn skeet about it. I know he doesn't give a ****, but when he toots his own horn (again) and says "My stock **** is doing pretty well" or something along those lines, it makes me feel like he has little man syndrome and is trying to convince himself that his 126 car is "stock" just for the sake of being able to claim it.
So when I buy a 96 GT vert and drop an 03 Cobra motor in it, I'll tell people I have a "stock 4.6" under the hood
when one runs 14.8s-15.somethings and one runs 12s (with a decent driver).
