No Steve, I'm not contacting Don.... That's your end to take care of.
I'm tearing down my motor to fix the shoddy work you performed. I have already removed the oil pan to discover debris blocking the inlet screen. I cleaned out the screen, re-assembled the pan, filled with oil and still the same low pressure issue.
You re-used the oil pump from my old motor.... the one that was circulating piston material throughout. Seems to me a new pump should have been used for this build-up.

new lifters, cam, oil pump, and all gaskets were replaced, the front/rear covers and oil pan were thouroughly cleaned in the parts washer
There are numerous emails/pm's concerning the fact that you were to pay the tuner directly
this has been the FIRST reply or acknowledgment made by yourself from my phone calls/emails/and pm's
I have offered numerous times to take a look at the car, pulling the filter and ck'ing for bearing material would be the first thing to check
edit: to the originator and other forum members that have contributed to this post, I apologize for the brief interruption, I felt it necessary to stand behind my work, and state the facts when there a false public accusations made about my work; I will gladly remove my posts if requested, thanks
edit 2: oil pump removed? there are 4 bolts holding it the pump to the block, those 4 bolts are on the new motor, it's that simple
that car ran at 50psi for 4 weeks and made the trip from CT to Fall River, Mass area roundtrip, no issues; fact
"shoddy work, not replacing the oil pump" false accusations, fact

1. I was waiting on parts until February, the car sat in an enlcosed warehouse the entire time, i also chose to attend the CT Fire Acadamy, Jan-May 2007 , this typically required 20 plus hours a week of time, an investment I will never regret
2.-5., b/u lights were working upon arrival?

to the 1430 reply made by the individual:
it was 100% clear you were to call Don and make immediate payment the Friday you p/u'd the car, 100% crystal clear
I have cell phone records/email/and pm's time stamped, then the following week after requesting pament, the motor has an oil pressure problem, after 4 weeks of running fine

you are struggling to put blame on the situation, you are struggling to say you made payment to me for the tuning, truth will always prevail
that's the bottom line
