Guys everyone needs to calm the hell down. My head is in a spiral making me want to lock my own damn thread. Its redic. People are chiming in posting for people other than themselves it needs to stop. My report was not in today hopefully it will be in tommorrow and I can move forwards and drive my car. With the 2 inches of snow outside right now its safe to say I wont be driving the z for the winter neways. None the less this is my request. Thank you
Most don't understand alot of these concepts so having them post in an educated fasion and able to rebut arguments is very difficult to do w/o standing over someones shoulder and explaining it to them. People need to learn about these things. It's VERY easy for the avg. consumer to have some excuse fed to them and believe it w/o even understanding the concept. Friends deserve to be stood up for when not able to speak for themsleves.
Many of these coming out are those that have never been mentioned publically and should have b/c people like yourself may have made different choices.
Just b/c one person doesn't have the time to post constantly and rebut arguments publically or is not a member here excuse it from being something that should be heard?
The politics in this busines are disgraceful sometimes.
They know what we're talking about.
I wish you the best my Z brother and I anxiously await your findings. Until then...I will refrain from further posts unless replied to and asked.

There is no point to keep responding, this will never end. I have already been accused of trying to create drama so the thread gets locked.
Guess what, I could car less if it gets sticky'd, locked, deleted - whatever.
I'll wait for r0mey's engine report to come back - then we can continue from there.
Also, something everyone is forgetting - all these engines came from shops, shops that ordered engines from us. If a shop orders a sleeved engine, are we suppose to question them and make sure they know what they are selling? I think not. None of these engines were purchased directly from us and no one was "sold" on the sleeved engine upgrade from us.
Also, to make this a fair comparison, shouldn't everyone else who has had head lift issues post up their problems as well? Oh wait that's not going to happen is it? I forgot it's only GTM getting bashed right now.
My question to Alberto, QuickSilver and RudeG:
I hope it never happens to you guys, but if you do lift your heads, are you going to post about it so that the community will benefit from it, or are you going to keep it under wraps as to not discredit your builder tuner?
Alberto is the only one I expect would share his results, regardless if they are good or bad.
Anyways I am done for today, I'm off the clock now

Well i am a friend of Alberto and i know a lot more then most people know about this problem he had with this motor.One thing i have learned about Bert is he will not bash anybody about anything unless he has proof.............well he has proof.
I sure wish Julian could post here cause there would be alot more proof.I was thinking about getting a built at from GTM but not anymore.......damn shady work ethics FTL.

ok to be fair to all this.. about booger, he did deserve his ban, not because of the issues he brought up but because he called out sam, sam responded to his questions, then he decided to continue to rehash and then decided to get into it with nitrouz, he got a warning from him but booger decided to ignore it and to test him..and he got banned...it was his fault for trying to go at a moderator and making his arguments to personal...def no need for perma

You are correct on what happened . But it was Sam ignoring my legit questions that got it going in the first place and Nitrouz , being one of his customers [ nuthuggers ] with moderator status that stopped the legit questions from being answered
Alberto...THANKS FOR BRINGING YOUR TROUBLES TO LIGHT !!!!!
Maybe GTM will become a better shop as a result of it .

recently just posted on G35driver:
wouldn't it be a shame it turns out to be something entirely from left field to cause the engine damage and meanwhile both company's names have been tarnished?
I don't know anything here, but just saying...

I would have steered clear from the comment if I were you. I'm not jumping to any conclusions b/c I've dealt with Julian before and wouldn't recommend him to ANYONE. But you don't care about a thread that could potentially harm or clear your name being locked or deleted. I would be on here everyday trying to stand behind my work weather not people were bashing me or not.

Regardless of the report from Romey's motor, I stand behind my experience as being a bad one, for many reasons (already atated) with factual proof. Sentry asks more Q's than anybody in this thread, neither of which related to the OA. How about him or somebody else ask "how can I know my GTM motor wont see issues like his?" "Will more QC control checks be implemented?"

like I said before...many don't even understand some of the stuff being said here and could easily be fooled by..."you blew a head gasket", "you overheated", "we didn't put the heads on", "we didn't tune it", "you drove it too hard", "Ive been doing this for xx amount of years" and can get caught not knowing where to go to next, not even realizing there can be causes to justify the end and just move on and get taken advantage of.
