not specific to your car. I guess it was sort of a vague reference on my part.

They are going to start working on it asap and record vids of the entire process. If necessary, it looks like the official block disassembly will be this Saturday.

i don't get what's going on here,i thought jt has had zero issues with customers?i know there was some custom single turbo sillyness a while back,but i chalked that up to "experimental" lessons learned.

these suggestions of wrongdoing mean nothing without some facts to back it up.to be honest,there should have been facts before a single comment was made.

half of them are moved or deleted by Matt.. just like JT tried with this very thread.. he had this thread deleted.. it was brought back.. then he was removed from the original poster of the thread.. then had the OP delete it.. then it was revived and made me to be the OP.. needless to say he won't be contacting me to delete ****

I see. Let's try to keep the finger-pointing to ourselves, as the facts aren't in just yet. I would hate to see this thread deleted for a second time.

Facts will be posted soon, my friend. I'm going to try and document every single step in an attempt to dismiss speculations.

I am not speculating about anything to be honest, I am restating my original opinion based on publicly known facts and private knowledge as well. I will not speculate about your car, and I hope it turns out not to be engine failure for you.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't get that sense from you lol. It's all good man, I just can't wait till we crack open the piggy-bank a.k.a. my motor.

Hopefully big numbers in terms of whp not $$$$$, but we all know they pretty much go hand in hand

They are going to start working on it asap and record vids of the entire process. If necessary, it looks like the official block disassembly will be this Saturday.
It will be necessary, if there is damage up top you will need to see if it caused damage on the bottom end. Cylinder walls and rings will need inspection and if oil starvation (my personal specialty) is involved you basically need to take every piece off and then take a seat before Vinnie tells you its all gone. Prep for the worst and be plesantly surprised if something else happens, optimism is not your friend here.

Default Bad build

Should be interesting when I contacted J T he dismissed vinnys findings on our motor as they are competitors so vinny was trying to make him look bad .I know vinny for 5 years now and you would be hard pressed to find a more stand up guy he calls it like he sees it ,and the parts that were paid for and not used ,and poor assembelly speaks for it self.

Your situation deserves it's own thread. Is there one? If so, link?



OP,

I'm hoping for the best for your sake, but I'm not very optimistic after hearing that vid.

Niether am I. I was getting ready to throw in the towel and get rid of this POS a few months back.

Vinny saw in person what you saw in the vid. He basically told me the block is done, but hey, it would be interesting to know why.
