or you can just learn to tune and blow your engine yourself instead of paying someone to do it.

Meh, my base tune worked for me when I first put it on. It wasn't the smoothest tune for power, but it ran the car just fine on stock header/dp. Didn't recall sending you my base tune

Best possible advice in this scenario, I think.

Lol, after seeing all the different tunes people use on this site. I would only trust 3 people to even look at my car, let alone touch it.

sorry to see it blow....

I've seen 2 brand new LNF motors with bad cranks already at the dealership I do business with. Looks like they might be going through that type of issue too.

LNF isn't the same crank as LSJ?

crank walk usually has more to do with bearings and balancing **** than the crank itself. Although, it may not be the same crank...im not really sure.

IDK, never heard of that problem on any LSJ. But 2 out of ~60 cars at Saturn North Scottsdale had that same issue. Possible that someone put conventional oil in the motor IDK?

I've seen a lot of stupid stuff done by LNF owners on the Solstice/Sky side, including using 87 octane because the dealer told them so...........Jesus, the motor was designed on 95 OCTANE!
