I GIVE UP!!! motor blown again!

Well, just my luck! I got the call at 4pm on Friday but just didnt have the heart to post it up....

Apparently Dave (the tech) was driving the truck on the freeway at an estimated 60mph and the oil pressure spiked, so he shut it down. After having it towed to his shop he tore it down to find that a couple bearings were scored and 2 rods were discolored. I dont really know what this means exactly but Im assuming it ran out of oil for some reason. They are acting like its not a huge deal but Im thinkin it is. I guess they have to turn the crank, replace 2 rods, and the bearings. This is the last of a long list of BS that ive been thru....Im really considering giving up!

Blake you should just buy mine and take it to Nats...:)

Blake,
Sorry to hear about more motor woes. Souds like this goes under "shit happens" and hopefully your builder/tuner can get it right soon. Have a few beers/glasses of wine/glasses of single malt, whichever you like (or all of the above) and sleep on it. You've come to far to set it on fire now. If it helps I have a car lot full of trucks that get 10 mpg with gas @3.00 that won't sell. You can come set some of these bastards on fire if you like. :D :D :D :D

Wait you went from a VEC and tune to 30-40K??? Can you explain a little more?
 
Sorry to hear that Blake, hopefully its not that bad and you can get it before the Nats. I would ask for a discount though....
 
FJ2Viper he went in to get a vec installed and instead built the engine to massive proportions:D

Blake in all honesty they need to eat the labor! and the tax! Everything else you decideed to do, but they are not holding up their end, no labor no labor no labor!11:mad:
 
Thats a hard all brother, you would basically have to prove the f'd up the machining I would think,If the machinist put it together then you have something.
 
He put it together as a shortblock. they did the rest. It went back to thye machinist....they have to pay SOME of the machinework cuz they blew the fugger up in the first place. I just should pay whatever I UPGRADED.
 
There ya go bro! Your stepping stone so to speak! YOU didnt put it together, YOU didnt blow it up! THEY should be responsibel. Same deal as mine, I agreed to pay for all I upgraded, but nothing else! You blow my crap up , YOU fix it! It came to you in a certain condition I expect it to leave in the same condition.
 
Damn, my motor blew up and I had to pay for it. What a crock. Dont get me started about my dealer(s)...yes plural experiences. I/we hope your truck goes better than some of ours 1fast.

Oh yes we do.... but Dave...if your truck never left the installing dealer before it blew you wouldnt have had to pay
hang in there Blakey. we will get ya going again, lets keep it simple, but powerful, so you can drive the balls off of it, and enjoy the hell out of it.:rock:
