The truth about maximumsportZs motor
ok guys, back in december we decided to step up the game for chris and build him a motor. then we both agreed that getting an assembled long block would be easier because i had just opened up shop. we ordered a sleeved block with top of the line internals from todd at built z motors. motor came full assembled with no issues at all..
get the car together and broken in for about 1000 miles and set it on the dyno. after a few half throttle pulls, the car spins a rod bearing. so, i immediately grabbed his car down and pulled it around and took it apart to see what had happened. we narrowed it down to a faulty rev up oil pump or the oil cooler we had added onto his new setup.
FOR FREE, i took it all apart broke it all the way down to bare block, had a new crank rebalanced, checked all parts thoroughly and had everything inspected. we fully rebuild all the motor back with 2 thousandths on the mains and rods. i had the machine shop triple check everything before we put it together, we add a new oil pump, all new bearings, gaskets, etc all out of my own pocket cause i wanted to make sure chris was happy.
there were too many variable to blame anything on the build, we did everything right, broke it in , low low boost with lowered rev limiter, changed the oil a total of 3 or 4 times.
now after fully building it back the second time, we put the car on the dyno for 60 + pulls, we drove it around 200-300 miles, car made very nice power.
chris takes the car home and drives it for a little while and then decided to change the oil. since the motor already had 1000+ miles on it, i used fully synthetic Redline oil in it right at the beginning. chris put in valvoline 10w40 regular oil and then drove it and it immediately threw another rod bearing. we are still trying to figure out what could be the issue...
we are not "trying" to hide anything, just not everything public that is being taken care of. i have gone WAY out of my way to fix it all and i am doing it again. it goes to show that no matter how careful you are , you can still have issues. every shop has them and some are made public and some are kept private.
this should really only be a bad thing if the owner of the car is not happy. i try and try and try to keep everyone happy. i work 16-20 hours a day to make this happen and this is my life....
we talk friendly crap to make the competition upset and want to race us. we dont mean anything by it, just being men. i have a very very high customer appreciation level that i strive very very hard to make happen.
anyone that knows me, knows i am blunt and honest, i say it how it is. i dont try to sell people stuff they dont need, just try to make everyone happy and drive a fast car. thats it. i dont like all the drama cause i dont have time to even keep up with everything else..
thanks everyone...

Also I don't want to start ruin this thread so this will be my last flame which is not directed at Jeremy.
Hey jackass (taurran) what do you say about my incorrect info now? *tap tap* You hear my now? How about now?
You're the one that's the jackass trying to make me look like a liar when you knew what I was posting was true.
