It was shipped right back with the understanding that JT would take full responsibility for "his tech's error". He led me to believe that everything would be torn apart and rebuilt from scratch.

Wow, from that I would have sat there and watched while they built my engine.. I wouldnt have trusted him at all.. That is fail on all parts..

There is no way all those carbon deposits would develop in 1 day... Prob not even enough time to beat that engine to look the way it did...

Id like to hear Sharif's opinion or an engine builder here.. He may not comment though as not to be sucked into "drama"..

I see these things as criminal!! **** drama.. This is sickening to my stomach..

JZ....sorry to see what happened to you man.....Thanks for the Acorn video....this is good for the community to see
There was a thread on this EXACT SUBJECT to help members here determine their shop or post reviews good or bad.. ****ed up thing was it was either locked or deleted.. I and some other members were accused of wanting "drama" or being called a "drama queen" when all I would like is honesty and true experiences posted.. It was a shame that thread came down..

Ill try to find it if i can, so far im unsuccessful..

I think I saw that one....but I mean one that lacks drama....that speaks the good and bad about shops...and ONLY people that have had their FULL builds done at that shop.....NOT "my friend had his car dont there and they suck"..."or I have heard bad things about them"....

ie...

Shop Name::.... Doug's Reggae Weed....I mean Speed Shop

1)Workmanship::: Clean stock looking work...attention to detail.
2)Time line:::: Got my car ## weeks late
3) Pricing ::: very good pricing......very expensive but I am happy...
4) Condition of car when returned::: Car was returned cleaner than I gave it to them......or Oil stains on my seats....parts missing...and so on.
4) Would you return to that shop:::: Hell no....or yes I would...
5) Would you recommend this shop to a friend::: ?????
6) Did the shop owner spend time explaining what this build will cost::: Yes
7) When you received the bill...was it the same as agreed::::Hell no

Just an example.....but just keep it straight to the point. And just make the rules to prevent the nuthuggers (like me) from giving their opinions of what you went through.....

I am sure even the best shops on here will get someone with a bad review....You cant make everyone happy...

Yeah...I saw that one....but we need one with only the experience of the car owner/s....no outside comments....you can only post if you are speeking about your dealings with that shop.....Like you and JZ...You can only post once...but you can add to your post...that would keep it to the point.

Wow Jzurita I remember your car when it was at theshop when I went to get my car looked over by Junior when they were at the old location.

I had asked Junior what was up and he had said you had gotten a motor full of loose metals in there.

I didn't know know it was your car until you posted just now.
That was 2 winters ago or so, it was sitting all the way in the back
to the right on the entrance of the building in the rear.

I said it before and I will say it again what all other in this thread are saying now.
The cover up for bad business has to stop and start protecting its members.

Default bad builds

Exactly when I tried to let people know what a piece of **** I got for my $20,000 all the J T nut huggers said I did'nt know what I was talking about .Its a shame that J T got away with screwing people out their hard earned money.Its one thing if you have a motor built properly and there is a problem but when you pay for new parts and get a bunch of used garbage ,and phony dyno sheets that is flat out thievery he knew exacely what he was doing.

So why is there carbon on the pistons, and carbon on the exhaust ports if this is a new engine?
