Prefect example on how to screw up your life, and pay for it for years. Poster child.

That is when you see folks start selling things off and parting out.

Exactly, I have done the same thing. Paying for a track car with funny money is a recipe for financial disaster!

Jokes on those guys. I'm poor enough that even a credit line wouldn't afford me a TT kit.

Noop, I already told you I hate a T5, T56..... They suck. I will spend 25k on a Hollinger Sequential before I put a T56 in my car.

FYI, Put my car on the dyno at SOHO Saturday. 17psi it was fine. The pressure gauge then started acting funky. Turned it up to 27psi after a couple of runs. It puked coolant out the reservoir. The gauge acted funky and only read 8spi so we knew we had to redo it without the gauge. They are working on getting it wired up differently without the gauge. Needless to say, the heads are for sure lifting. So, the motor has to come out.

I guess I will find out if Mark is going to stick to his word and fix it. That was the agreement when I first had him build my engine. If the heads lift, he would fix it. He has been good to me and I hope he does the right thing. If not, I will deal with it. When things don't go right, You find out what you are made of. That's for sure.

I hope you guys understand how much this sucks. I knew it when it happened. I am for sure disappointed and just pissed off. It's not all peaches and cream building a car.

Spooler 10-25-2021 11:15 PM

I thought about whether I should post what I did above. I have been honest the whole thread. That's who I am. I won't change it even if it hurts. It has sucked a couple of times, that is for sure.

Sorry to hear it, Spooler. Hope Mazworx gets it sorted out for you.

Spooler 10-26-2021 08:22 AM

For all the other little shops that say their Dicky Do process is the fix and their heads don't lift I call bullchit. Dynosty head gasket fix my big old butt.

Kyle at Tidperformance has the Dynasty headgasket fix. He made one run at Pocono and puked coolant everywhere. He won't admit he had a headgakset issue but we all know what happened. Mr. Squeeze was there. For some reason folks want to hide and not tell the truth when they break stuff. I don't know why that is. To me it pisses me off.

Some folks may actually be so invested in their build that they don't wanna give away information that could potentially save others money. I know you have been a little wishy washy in this build thread with what you have discovered through this process and the difficult and expensive lessons learned. I get things change and sometimes emotions can run high and lead to saying certain things, but maybe in this instance, a little internal reflection may be beneficial.

These are my experiences. Take it or leave it. You have to realize I am having to sift through a ton of misinformation. So yes, It may appear wishy washy. I just found out that Mark did my setup on his build with a billet VQ35DE block. I didn't know that at the time mine was built. He thought it would hold with no issues. It didn't. So here I am.
