A lesson though for all, make sure you take your ride to a decent shop with loads of experience.

+1 on a reputable shop, i will drive hours to get to a good shop for even a simple install if its worth it

Looks like im driving to Vegas or New Mexico to get it tuned.

If the car is turned on for a few seconds then turned off, it shouldnt have an once of fuel on top of the pistons

I have heard of running lean smoking an engine
but running too rich causing that damage?
Did your oil pressure go down when the gas
mixed with the oil? Good thing that fuel mixture
in the block didnt get ignited. KaPow!!
Sorry to hear of the problems.
Spun anything sucks.

after the noise the tuner tried to drive it and the oil pressure went up and down. i think it did because the metal shavings were blocking the oil

sorry to see it

yeah, it wont matter what kind of internals you have. no lubrication will make the best of them go boom. my as well go with the big bore cammer block now. sorry to hear about the problem. hope your tuner takes care of it

Dex

any other ideas on why this would happen? I was told this was the issue but for all i know the crank could not have the right clearance. Some guy at a shop told me the eagle cranks sometimes have problems

I'm no expert on the aftermath but it sounds like he tuned it too rich. You get too much fuel in there it won't all get burned and you end up gas washing the rings. That'll definitely lock her up... Many inexperienced tuners make that mistake thinking richer is safer... wrong answer. -Joe
