Thats what the shop looking for the longblock said too Charles... Tough to trust a dealership ever and those bastards got grease all over my Sparco seat. Im just gonna dispute the $400 "labor" charge while they had it for reasons being a new seat and not putting the car back together.

That really sucks! Aftermarket pulleys were not in my plans for my build but now they will def. never be lol. Oh and speaking of crankshafts, if anyone ever does the clutch/flywheel install themselves make sure you either get a new crankshaft sensor or be very very very careful not to get it dirty! It makes your car not run basically as I found out the hard way :/

I think I bought two of those lol trying to figure out my problem..
I wouldnt blame the pulleys... They either werent torqued down correctly or they tore up the key trying to get it on (I remember them having issues with fitment) when my main crank seal was leaking I shouldve fixed it right away or checked y it happened... Instead I waited til it was too late.. I have def learned that no oil leak anywhere should ever go on for more than a week or so lol.
I washed her yesterday and kinda wanted to fight for her to run again lol... If the engine has to be rebuilt Im going to do cams and new internals for sure. Ill know for sure sometime next week.

*TT INSTALL UPDATE*
Soooooo after many countless hours trying to get my Greddy kit on the motor with it still in the car, we have pulled the motor out. joy. lol. So as of now the manifolds and turbos are bolted on. I have wrapped 1 testpipe in heat wrap. Welded a bung on 1 testpipe for my wideband, wrapped the fuel line in heat wrap and installed my new oil pan (all by myself BTW
) We also got the wires for my boost controller and wideband through the firewall. We also had to weld up one of my manifolds b/c it was cracked Should have the motor back in next weekend.
Still not sure about where to get it tuned. :/ need to make that appt soon....

Very nice Michelle! Japtrix seems to be your best shot at a good tune.. 3 hr drive should be fine as long as you dont hit boost you know. GL getting the engine in and running. Firing it up will be a joyous occasion. lol I just had one with my crank pulley fix this past weekend.
