And the higher ups at the companies involved are going above and beyond (way beyond) to help get this fixed and resolved. Nice to see and says a lot about those people and there companies, instead of the typical "improper install/misuse no warranty"

You would be wrong ... I am not a builder by trade but have built many good engines with no problems in 20 years, I know big time builders that have issues sometimes it happens... Maybe you have a big azz bankroll to pay 100,000.00 for engines... I don't I busy my fukkin azz and paid cash for 30,000.00 of engines that even with the fukking issue I take pride!! I am gonna fix it, it WILL be ok and that's it.

Who the fuk takes price in fukking up, taking abuse, dealing vendors, and getting proper answers, and busting azz to work around the clock to fix engines and posts about it? At least I still hold my head high I didn't put my tail between my legs and walk away....

Good or bad I feel I take pride and see this failure even as a success because I learned, even if it sucks.

I know some guys wanna see me fail because of the bs I gave Phil that's cool, it is what it is....

Your damn lifter friction welded itself to the block holding the valve open then the piston kissed it. You didn't measure the clearance and if you did you have no idea what clearance needs to be run in a high endurance metal on metal 5000rpm application. This failure is 100% on you, and if you conned the parts people into giving you more parts then your a really good BS'er. Or maybe Bob is just buying the parts because you like to drag good peoples name through the mud.

Now after you blow your **** up, you have deemed yourself a reliable source for giving out engine specs.... WTF and why would anyone listen to you? What happens when the guy that does listen to you sticks his lifters??? You going to pay for his engine???

I have never seen someone so incompetent with an engine try to justify his failure as if he did nothing wrong... All this BS about heat in the engine, you really think an extra 60-70 degrees is going to expand the block to keep this failure from happening? Yeah keep dreaming. I guess everyones lifters stick when an engine is started below zero... According to your retard logic.



That is the best advice you have offered in this whole build thread, not trusting yourself...
