And so it begins.......9k later that is
And so it begins.......9k later that is
And just as the title says my build began the other day! heres a pic of the cylinder which looks great, thought it would be horrid and that the head would be screwed in some way.
So far im looking at a bent valve being the cause of no compression but from how glazed the 4th cyl is and all the others have a good cross hatch id say imo that the rings also failed for one reason! when I took it to a shop to have two lash adjusters installed they said it was done the next day and I drove it and had a big dispute becuz i could tell they didnt replace them both from the sound. tore the motor down and what do I find? peices of the old lash adjuster and no new one in its place.....shady stuff But with that said id imagine driving a turbo'd car with one exhaust valve down would ruin that cylinders rings in a hurry.
heres a pic of the block
Its going to be fine after the new rods and wiseco pistons go in with a good hone ( cylinder had no scars)
took this pic of the head at the 4th cyl where the lash adjuster was never replaced...
and heres the sludge that got passed my intercooler....gonna have fun cleaning the pipes and ic
Shes all to pieces right now....lol literally
hopefully james will be able to come over in the next week to help with the rebuild....
And heres my new power plant....Treadstone turbo kit with precision 5858 dual ball bearing billet wheel .63 turbo that is going to accompany zzp stage 1 cams with larger lobe, zzp springs, wiseco pistons, zzp rods, zzp neutral balance shafts, ky stage 3 clutch, and a few other items not to mention zzp engine and trans mounts.
LOOKING TO HAVE A RUNNING VEHICLE IN A WEEK TO TWO WEEKS!!!!
Im just ready to change my sig from under construction to "in the break in process"

First off guy, you came to my place with a Zzp tuned ECM... You said you wanted to get it warrantied because I tested your compression and you didn't have any in #4 I believe. So you payed for the stock tune to be put onto the car. I also stated I would retune your LNf "stock turbo" when you got the engine fixed.. Then you decided you wanted to build the engine ad asked me if I could do it. I said "yes" and we came to te conclusion it wouldn't be to long. But then its been months. A few of them, so I am no longer doing builds and so on. You payed for the stock tune, you want a revision for stock turbo come down. You want to upgrade your turbo and expect it to be free? Ain't gonna happen.. You took way to long for your "build" we set up many weekends where I would travel to you" but you fell through" cuz I told you to take head off and make sure cylinders were good along with the headwork. So complain all you want, I did what was asked of me and what I was payed for.
Etnies: Hey man just letting you know they should finish up that head by Friday but I'm working all weekend so if it's done you think you'll be free next week sometime? I got the cash in my account today
Me: I won't be able to come out at all anymore.... I have to much going on ad I closed shop for good
Etnies: wow, So what's up you still owe me a tune
Me: then get your **** done and come get the tune.
Etnies: Dude I need the help for real. I can tear it down but puttin it all back and it runnin right might not happen without ur help
Me: I can't come out, its not I won't. It's I can't.
Etnies: Look just get my money back I'll go a different route
Me: Don't work like that. I installed a tune on your car which was months back. And you also stated "you'll come back to get a performance tune" . I installed the stock file because you asked along with the fact you wanted to get it warrantied out. So Im sorry it won't happen.
Etnies: Dude your a ****** pos, suck some *****
Me: Lmfao sorry, I'm not a "******* pos" your the one who changed your mind on the engine, and so on. The engine build was supposed to happen a while ago... A while ago... I did install your tune on your car "stock". I am actually in the right, you can still get a tune... But the fact you "are changing your mind cuz I can't build your engine because I'm done" isn't my issue... You've taken to long. Now once your build is done ill tune it. But get your head out of your ass and stop blaming me for not giving your money back when I told you ill need the money up front for installing the stock file and that you won't have to repay when you get the engine done. I was recharging you for the larger turbo which you also knew.
Etnies: Keep the money and **** off. Sounds like you need it worse anyway a ****** Chevy tech drop out
Me: Lmfao.. First off kid, not a "Chevy tech drop out Lmfao" I don't need it, fact is you paid for a stock tune and you got it. I was just gonna retune you once you got all your **** taken care of with the stock turbo.. It's not my issue if you don't want to come to me for a tune or get it done remotely.

That's why I'm learning how to tune myself. Lol. Plus my tuner won't be tuning much longer and I have an LSJ and LNF to build.
Good luck on the build!

he did offer to still do the tune but man we agreed a while back that if i take the head off and have it done he would do this....and he was informed that it would take about a month at the least to get the money ready to pay him...its whatever though..... i guess imma load it up and go to zzp. I believe i could put it all back together and it run but im gonna say it would run long or anything lol thats alot of money to through away

**** NO I WANTED TO BRING IT TO HIM AND HE INSTISTED THAT I KEEP IT HERE AND GIVE HIM GAS MONEY WHICH I AGREED ON.
i really dont care its just gonna be another set back. it just sucks to be talking to someone three days ago and they are explaining how to remove the cam gear when they know they are gonna back out and like a week before that was gonna come do the build

i originally came for a tune, we noticed the cylinder was shot so he gave a stock tune and agreed to retune later. i payed in advance. i really dont care though its dead....i just got a lil heated at first
its just a deal goin sour....I lost my head for a min and said stupid things......it happens
i guess ill update this thread later on when I have the means to rebuild it

First off etnies (a month is what your goal was and I aggreed to it) but its been since October (early that we agreed to it). Since then you've asked for help on how to tear it down.it isn't my issue if you didn't get it all taken care of in the timely manner.... I never said I wouldn't tune you either... You payed for me to put the stock file I your car so I did. And we agreed you'd come back for the tune on "stock turbo" but all that changed..
