I have done it and so has everyone else. This thread has nothing to do with Craig's car and I'm sorry you feel that way about him because he is nothing like what you portray him to be. I don't back many people up (members of this board) but he is one person I would. He made a mistake and removed it. Everyone makes mistakes and we certainly don't need anymore crucifying than we have already had today.

Trying to keep it on topic and get away from the pissong contest......That was a great suggestion! The pick-up point is so small on these engines and looking inside for debri can sometimes be overlooked.If anything it is good advice for some do it yourselfers future engine builds

Yes sir. 2530's with 20 psi of boost.I heard the oil pump is a pile of crap.We got him a new block,crank and oil pump and put everything together and never had a problem again.It was funny,when he brought the car initially,he was like it has some valvetrain noise.So we took it down to the head and everything looked good.Then I told him we need to investigate further so we pulled the head.As we were loking at the bottom-end from the top ofcourse,one o my employees was pushing on the tops of the pistons and the number 3 dropped when he pushed it.LOL.I was like of rod bearing,this dude it lucky his rod didnt fly through the block

Update..
Well the block is at the machine shop which will be going through 2 machine shops for inspection to make sure every thing is in specs.
A couple things I have decided to do this time around:
HKS FCON V-PRO
HKS Knock AMP
HKS 1000CC Injectors
GTM 14" Cooling Fan Shrouds
I'll let Jeremy chime in for further details. I will definitely keep everyone updated.
Big thanks to PF for the great prices.

Wow, I had no idea MaximumsportZ (Chris) had all these problems... I did notice (also a comment on the Tonester thread) almost no threads or posts from him lately and that may explain it.. Anyways I wish him the best on this build.. Im pretty sure most of us who have dove into the FI/Built engine club have gone through several K worth of mishaps.. 
Hope to see awesome results like 700whp or more
Oh BTW JT does suck at tuning cars.. Justin Timberlake that is.....

Thanks guys, it's definitely been a long road, I don't even remember what i feels like owning a Z.
I know this time it will be perfect due to the drastic measures Jeremy is taking in details, nothing is slipping through.
To the PF haters, Jeremy is pretty adept to the FCON unit and maybe could show you a few tricks.
