I did know about the low oil presure as we had disscussed it and the possible reasons for it (Sending unit) etc.. So don't let me miss lead anyone. We just thought it was a simple fix and as it turns out it wasn't. It just happened right at the two week mark and I had put one tank of gas and Dennis had filled it up for me before I picked it up for the grand total of 298 miles I got to put on her. She sure did run good while it was together. And for that mater was still running great no one would have ever thought there was a problem as it still wasn't making any noise yet atleast that you could hear over the blower whine but the oil filter told a different story. I never expected a 3yr 36000 mile warranty Dennis just thought I'd get more mileage for my money. We'll see what happens, but I don't have any high hopes.

Lets keep our fingers crossed Jeff and maybe the parties involved will step up and help out as I think they probably should considering the circumstances...3500-4000 miles on a "built to the hilt" short block shouldn't be having these issues...if you need anything you know you can call me anytime.
