@ BraMas: Griggs Racing only installed and tuned the motor. The HB was already installed when it was shipped to their shoppe.

@ Uber: To be fair, I don't think he was saying the tune caused the failure specifically, but rather looking to cast issues on the installation and that I would probably have blown it up anyway. I am only guessing on that, but Tom Millen was just looking for a way to avoid a free repair of my motor.

Thanks for the heads up and sorry you've had so much trouble, with Livernois and otherwise. I'll be avoiding Livernois and passing the word around to any friends interested in having a motor built.

Tough break, especially with a size able investment such as that. All the best.

Yikes I'm sorry to hear this. Makes me think about reusing my crank bolt when I installed my pulleys.
