So your text to your friends about going over 100 MPH was a lie? First off you said you were going over 80. Then the next message was over 100. I am sure I can get those too if you wish.

I took off the oil pan, the windage tray, one main cap, one rod cap, and the pickup tube. As well as the oil filter and the starter.

There was no hurry in putting it together.

Have you talked to all American I’m wondering what you have to say. First it’s because it was a bad job from them and now it’s because I was abusing the car? Which one is it?

This is the last I will say in this thread. You should learn reading comprehension. Make sure you tell your lawyer the truth instead of lying like you have been proven to do, because they dont take kindly to it. IF in fact you decide to do that because I will pay none of it.

Nice. Of course, this ploy may work to get this thread locked which is probably what you would like. Personally I hope it's not locked, I'd like to find out why the dealer says the oil pump was installed improperly.

And who would that knowledgeable builder of LSX engines be? I don't see a name or shop identified. Please identify who this person/shop is.

The Chevy house is not paying for the repair due to it being a bad cam install. The motor will be replaced out of owners cost.

You could consider reading the thread. Your reading comprehension is at about the same level as th OP. I said in the lsx world, not anything like "world renowned."
