Engine was bought from another board member I seen videos of the car running and machine shop tore engine down and everything checked out good before shipping to me. I never ran the engine I verified every part I could from the parts list the seller gave me, I also rechecked crank shaft endplay and torques on bolts everything was good, now you're saying it has excessive endplay. Sounds like something happened to the engine putting it together or it was not primed. The only part you are saying isn't correct is the oil pump not being ported and I couldn't have checked that without removing it. I bought the engine just the same as I sold it to you it has been over 5 months since I sold it to you with no conversation and all of a sudden I get bad feedback and called a clown. If you remember right I asked you if you knew how to prime an ls engine you said no you asked if theres any other way you could do it. I said some people pull the plugs and injectors and just crank it over but thats not how I would do it on a reassembled not ran engine. I can't guarantee a motor 5 months later not knowing who or how all the external parts were installed and put in the car. if the old engine was junk and you used the pickup and pan from it then possibly picked up junk from it. also not knowing that you properly primed the engine before firing up. No machine shop would guarantee an engine with all of those factors against it either.

It took me 5 months to get all my parts together as for as New trans New rear, All new suspension, etc every part of the drivetrain was replace with all performance parts! When we got to the motor all the parts needed like oil pan, pick up tube were brand new and installed by GM TECH'S & YES IT WAS PRIMED THE RIGTH WAY! Fired it up only at Idle no really high revs and the oil pressure was low right at the start! So its clearly was like that when I got from you not are fault at all, plus the oil pump? It was a stock GM pump so right their we started thinking the motor was BS! Motor is being ripped back down today and can't wait to see if the parts are what you said they are:

Callie's rods arp 2000 bolts
Ross/Je pistons
Arp mains and head studs
Comp custom cam
Comp springs
Comp pushrods
