Off to B&M performance to get fixed up. They will go through the longblock etc. Not sure if I will have them get it 100% installed or just R&R the engine etc and I'll take it from there.TBD, but they will at least get the longblock dialed in...
Home address? Just saying I could tell you a couple stories of good examples of why not to fu&k with a drywall hanger’s money, let alone car. That was 20+ years ago though…:hmm:
Update:Weeks of "I'm sending you an engine."No spec sheet, no build list. Nothing. Have no idea what he is supposedly even giving me.Apparently he is driving a long block from Wyoming to Minneapolis this week since he couldn't figure out...
Not sure what the plan is yet.-Need the entire short block disassembled / cleaned and reassembled with all new gaskets / seals etc, new crank, probably a new block.
-Need the head disassembled / cleaned etc.
-Need the turbo rebuilt
-Probably...
Wowsers! How did they manage that one! Well at least we know they are getting the rebuild cost now. Sucks as you rely on these builders to be great at their jobs

Wow it's been over three years since I posted anything. Mainly because COVID made recovery of the car a royal pain in the ass. Long and short of things is:
- 2021 spent waiting on the race fab shop to get the new aero stuff on. That didn't go...
We didn't really reach a conclusion. I'm thinking I'm going to take the engine to MAPerformance and just have them go through it. Hopefully they can provide some closure on what actually went wrong.
