Never said they were correct. Although they are correct - they never said how long it would last

yeah thats what i though.. old "new" update we tore the engine apart to change the valve seals cause apparently the engine builder forgot or something and when i asked him, he said my job was to build the block and the cylinder head assembly was on the other guy so he basically blamed him.. there was no point in arguing i just wanted to verify it.. anyways truck has been running perfectly fine since.. waiting for a new oil pump that should arrive tomorrow, im not happy with my current oil pump showing me 45 psi at wot.. swapping the oil pump then waiting for some new parts

list :
caltracs
36" magnaflow muffler
tail gate mesh

oh and im waiting for squash performance to release their new NNBS fuel system on the 22nd of this month

good news and bad news..

lets start with the bad news, there's an oil leak somewhere close to the oil filter i doubt its the rear main seal because it was changed a few days ago.. probably the oil filter or the oil cooler adapter ill know tomorrow if i feel like lifting it up.

the good news is i raced my friends R8 V10 from a 20 roll..
running 93 octane 10 psi...

meth and more boost soon.

update! so i don't think this engine is ever gonna work out cause the guy who built it is a complete idiot.. the pinning was done incorrectly it ruined my arp bolt , balancer hub and crank thread.. took everything out to replace my crank and guess what.. my crank bearings and rod bearings were thrashed.. i guess the engine builder never lubricated them or something so the engine is currently sitting at my friends shop.. im about the pull the trigger on a 10.0:1 416ci short block from the US
