OMG My Engine is Toast

[zofo61]

Shane.......I think this "Mechanic" is an incompetant fraud.............You should photo document EVERYTHING and ....yes....maybe see a Lawyer..........got anyone in the family that practices Law...........the Dyno Tune place you took your car as well should be notified of pending litigation as they didnt do you any service as well.

IDK I will have to check it out more on monday.

was the entire valve stem still on the valve? If it is, there is no way that it could completely turn upside down like that.

Sometimes I wonder if this was all one big tall tale........some of his responces just dont make sense...almost baiting responces from the forum......the tale of the shady "Mechanic".....the almost boastful disregard for even the slightest of suggestions. I dont know......just gotta gut feeling that there is more to this......hmmmmmmmm....let the conspiracies begin.

lol. like what.....thing is..my buddy who is a decent mechanic and who has rebuilt many engines looked at this pic and said there was no way this could happen, then he had said that Franks Auto Performance has had a couple of his friends friends cars, and they never seem to stop breaking, they always end up back in the shop. Due to engine failue after the owner frank has rebuilt the engine, So now Im thinking about taking this guy to small claims, cause 3 times he rebuilt my engines, 3 times theve always came back less than 4k miles on them. hats what I ment by foul play, could the valve really do that?

Jerry Garcia did it.

look at my pic how does the valve turn completely around and stick st8 thru the cyclinder. There isnt enough room. is foul play suggested by mechanic???

[john_V63400]

at 300hp 28lb injectors are 100% duty cycle, effectivly they are locked open. for 350hp at 55lbs fuel pressure you need 40lb/hr injectors to run at 80% duty cycle. now 80% duty cycle is the max you want to run, idealy you should be lower than that, so ideally 46lb injectors or bigger is what you should have been running.

do you have a wideband a/f gauge mounted in the car??? this is pretty much mandatory theese days in any aftermarket boosted car

I have a A/F guage, but no wide band. I was about toget one. Oh well. I need a SVU. Im buying a 91 Ford Explorer 2dr. sprt 4x4. there nice.

Anyways I will get pics up soon, but Im not replying to anymore. Ive said all I can. Thanks for the input guys, your all very intellegent. Definitely apreciate it.

-name oner person with The Other Guys Ceramic Coated Headers woth a Z-Spec charger. You cant Im the only one. name one person with exclusive Dyno time with there Z-spec unit. You cant if very few.


Dont tell me I did things wrong, Ive not seen one person with a GA do this much to a Z-spec setup. And read my other post...I was in the process of adding the MAF. Infact I had already tried a stock one out.
So shut your big flappy mouth Im tired of hearing people say "you did it wrong" it wast done ass holes! meaning I still had work and improvements.

It is time to face reality, you spent a lot of time and money only to fuck up your engine not only once but twice! As the saying goes "fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me". It is time to own up to the fact that you did not do everything correctly.

Fueling played a major role in this, with no RRFPR and 28lb injectors on 13lbs of boost. Your fueling may have been ok on a 3rd gear dyno pull at WOT, but that does not mean your car is tuned for the street. I hate to break it to you, but your car was in no way tuned.

BTW: Zofo61 had TOG headers with the RSM kit...... and several of your mods are cosmetic only.

Like everyone else has said, please post pics of the head and also the cam sheared cam pin. If nothing else this could serve as a learning purpose for everyone.
