Damn SKI that blows, sorry to hear that. I know its a touchy subject but did ARE also supply the parts to build the motor or did you piece together your own parts and had them put it together?? Reason I ask is cause something has to be under warranty right?

Also who did the heads? Did who ever that machined your heads supply springs?

Maybe I'll have to put that in my sig.

I know how you feel when you have so many hours in your truck. I won't ever let mine go either unless it is stolen or burnt to the ground. Which my guess it will burn to the ground with my luck.

Awesome, thats cool that they would do that...although they should help for how much money you put into it but thats beside the point.

What about the heads though? Did you supply and they build or did you have another company supply and build those?

Damn, I'd want to say we need to give jay a call. Did you pull the heads yet and check the V springs to see if that was it? If a part of the heads failed and its their fault I think there should be some kind of repercusion on their part. Do you know what springs they said they used? 918... and with that was the cam in good range to the spring? Sorry so many questions, Im trying to help think of a solution so you dont have to pay any more than shipping cost to get you back and running.
