this is not my post--?

 

Dam Alex your memory sucks! We never really found out what happened. Motor was fine one minute and next second dead. Put a valve through the piston though. I have some pretty bad luck.

 

It actually got a higher than that Ryne must not have been able to see it clearly but it was deffinently lower that i expected I was thinking it would be close to 80psi like Rynes.

 

If you stomped on the motor in the first few minutes that should not have happened. Something was amuck with the engine and sounds like a poorly sealed headgasket for whatever reason. If the engine builder tries to back out of responsibility and you find that is in fact the problem, please post here. When users have just 1 unresolved problem with sellers, I do not use them ever again.

let us know how things come out.

 

Will do but i think they are going to take care of me but at this point nothing is for sure. I plan to update on an almost daily basis.

 

Gosh, if this was the case, I would have been on the phone to my builder before taking it up to 6000 RPM? I might have been keeping it parked until we got to the bottom of the oil pressure issue.

 

Well don't quit posting you may be able to get some help--I didn't hear the story about your H/C setup nightmare and I don't know where this motor came from but would like very much to know--Like you I built a new motor that started 1 1/2 years ago now and just when its finially tuned the gd computer fried and 3 more in the past week--we think we have it licked but will know in a week---I can certainly understand you being pissed I was rather sick of mine when it was towed away again yesterday so I pissed away about 40K in the last 18 months and have yet to enjoy the results, it was not the fault of any of my guys but just one problem after another starting with an ARE shortblock that took 8 1/2 months to get here living on bs promises week after week etc--now I have to do some pvc work cause its sucking more oil than gas so I wish I had kept it simpler--if things don't change soon I am going to take my lumps and look at a new GTO and do a more moderate build on it--good luck and I can only imagine how pissed you are---(I am 5th degree Ishinryu-2nd degree Shotokan--1st degree Taeknowdo and have a few sashes King Rhee, white leopard etc and some time spent with Brazilian Jujitsu--so if beating the s#$@ out of the car would do any good I would already have it sitting up and begging for doggy treats)

 

Let us know if they take care of you as well. A good outcome is good to hear.

Good luck getting it fixed.

 

Like I had said it was actually higher than that Ryne probably just didn't see it probably because when he went in my car i didn't really get on it and when i did it was probably hard to see clearly. But as he stated it was much lower than expected.

 

and several other dangerous asian words?

 

If you need someone to host your pics just let me know, you can e-mail them to rjgroth@aol.com

 

will do. I think you hosted the pics for me last time when my heads cam went to crap. I will hopefully know more on Wed.

 

Man that sucks! Hopefully everything works out for ya!

 

Got a quote to pull and reinstall motor at the shop its at right now its dam near 3k! Maybe I can sell my soul or something.

 

any updates?

 

should know a lot more today should have pics of heads.

 

Let us know

 

Well there were some delays. But i have pics of right side head and the pistons. I will try to email to runamuk tomorrow. I will than describe what you see in the picture.

 

 

You can buy a new LS6 long block for around 5k from GMparts direct. Might be worth looking into. Good luck hope the engine builders stand behind their work.
