Message This is going to be long, but please understand my frustration. It all started about 2 and a half years ago. At 135000 miles my stock turbos finally gave there last breath, I pulled the motor an replaced them with sport 500's, labree exhaust and downpipes, 555cc injectors, ash chip and al sorts of other goodies. I put 5k miles on the car running 16lbs of boost and then cylinder number two ring landings gave away. I sent the block to kyle and had it rebuilt at stage 1 put the motor back in did about 5000 miles again and the headgasket blew. This was my fault cause i mixed up the head bolts and the head never sealed on the block right. I said to myself ok one more time, but this time i am going to send the heads and block to kyle and get the whole thing done right! One year goes buy and my motor is back in the car with almost every single part in the engine bay being brand new. Kyles long block looked great!!!! I drop the motor in, connect everything, and start her up following the right procedures, I let her run for 20 min at 2000 rpm drove her around the block, shut it off and changed the oil (not synthetic). I put 40 miles on the car and it was running great, everything checked out ok. Started her up today and the valves were ticking, i shut it off rechecked all fluids, connections, timming and all sensors, all was good and no codes, so i fired her up again and drove here around the block and i start hearing loud ticking noises in the engine, so shut it off again. I wanted to do a compression test but when I took off the spark plugs, number 2 and 4 were drenched in oil!!!!!! I now am broke after spending over 10k on my car and it still does not work!!!! I have emailed kyle and I am awaiting his response, but honestly I dont know what to do anymore, I cant spend more money on this car but i cant see myself selling it either because it is mint inside out and i know everything about it!!! I just really hope kyle will back me up on this as I cant see anything that i might have done wrong this time. I never took her over 3000 rpm or boosted her, and only put 40 freaking miles on her and she is dead again!!!!!!!!
