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...
