No it is stuff I have to do now. I just got the raw deal on the latest purchase that is makeing my *** hurt right now. I just wasn't in a position to have to rebuild another vehicle and didn't think I would have to, but if it wasn't for bad luck I guess I wouldn't have any at all. Thanks for asking though.
Jeff

Hadn't really been talking about it yet I am waiting to see what some people are going to do before posting pictures and details etc... But in a nut shell 298 miles and one tank of gas later and yeah the motor is at the machine shop awaiting an estimate on repairs and to see if any of the responsible parties are willing to help etc... On a good note it will go back right this time I don't need a great reputation to know how a car is supposed to go together. Well I will get off of my soap box for now. I'll let people know what happens with the parties involved.

Yep was a sad deal for all the parties involved...car left my driveway running/shifting just fine. A couple weekends of "hard" playin' and a HPD day cruise racing a TT Porsche, Jeff called me with some bad news. The motor had always shown a lower than usual oil pressure, that Jeff was very well aware of, since the last LS2/ProCharger build, but never showed any problems, oil pressure rose at higher rpms, and ran like a f'n scaulded ape...

Jeff, I hope, and I both know I'm not stupid enough to **** in my own back yard. I truly hope Jeff gets some help with this as it was an inconvenience for both parties. Jeff, sorry I wasn't able to give you a 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty on a "race" motor...give me a call.

I wouldn't call one fun run and a cruise a lot of "Hard" playin. I am not saying that I was driving miss daisy when I was playing with someone, but it was built for that and well it obviously had an issue before leaving your house weather you knew it or not, hell for that matter probably from the begining it just took 3.5-4K to show up. 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.
