i think it will be a positive experience from now on working with 1 shop who will not only build and tune my car but who will stand behind their work if anything should go wrong.

GearHeinz says the rings were giving out and most likely the oil pump collapsed inside but he hasn't taken it apart yet.

LOL no shop is going to stand behind a blown engine. It's never their fault, trust me.

I think most stand behind their work IF and only if there is conclusive proof that their work was to blame for a failure. It's like any warranty or insurance, but for a severely damaged, blown engine, there are so many probable causes that it's very difficult to accurately point the finger.
