i wasnt saying it was your fault as all i was saying is send the whole motor back to you and tear down and see what is wrong , and then go from there and if he has the money let you put it all together

and to ctgreddy dont even talk like that about swapping over to a chevy just because of this , caus ein the world of aftermarket and building motors other than stock **** happens.

and also were you there when they were tuning your car and how far did they rev it up and wasnt it like still breakin in when you took it there i have 550 miles on my 306 and im gonna give it a few more miles and another oil change before i throw it up on the dyno .

honestly i don't know what to ask from you. you've done everything you could have so far. I dont know how or why or what went out this time. I won't be able to pull the motor until monday night so nobody will know until then. This is the farthest i've ever gone into mechanical work so yes i needed pointers,but i don't think you can really hold that against me, everyone's gotta start somewhere. I guess the only thing we can do is wait until i pull the oil pan so we can figure out what it was that went out. and no fingers should be pointed until that time.

Do this, yank it out. When its ready to come back, email me and I will send a truck, keep the lower and upper intakes, I want the longblock 110% intact. It's time to go at this like a crime scene detective, do NOT disturb anything in the bottom end, dont take off rod caps, mains caps, nothing. Don't worry about the money at this time, if its on me, it's 110% on the house. I just need to look very closely at some hunches of mine.

dont worry no more switching to chevy...

i was not there during the tune but i was told by many knowledgeable people that it would be ok as long as i let it run 20-30 mins prior. it ran 20 mins here, and the tuner said he let it run for about 30 mins, changed the oil, then thru it on the dyno.

^^im just saying he didnt even drive it really so how did he know how it ran...

and as far as its gonna go its gonna go i get that and i did the same on my new 306 its just that he said he didnt run it hardly at all/if all and no oil changes until they did whos to say it didnt have shavings in there and they said the hell with it and ran the **** out of it....

and again only 313 rwhp the "shop" should of said/known something was not right for that kind of build as my 306 will make in the same neighborhood of power and ctgreddy's motor has a far more powerful build list then mine....[8D]

and for all this money he has spent and for not knowing what he was doing to an extent he should of just had woody build the whole god damn thing , no instead now he has put enough money into that thing where it should of been pulling wheelies but no i know everyone needs to start somewhere but damn , [&:]
