350 more break in miles required, these break in miles will test your patience for sure, right @Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC 😂

im going through some stuff right now…
Not blaming installer or builder. Just want it fixed. I think I'm cancelling the rest of my travel for the year and racing events. Kind of at my limit mentally.
Ignore time stamp as my boroscope doesnt keep time.

Piston to valve clearance not enough or cam installed incorrectly? There’s why she loped so much? Sorry to hear, you don’t have good luck much do you.

This has been so demoralizing. Thinking of selling the car with old motor for 40k or as a roller. Looks like Ill have to get the motor fixed and then sell that separately. I also have a few sets of welds and what nots to sell as well.

That wouldn’t cause oil in the combustion chamber though. Ring gap had to of been junk and judging by the huge slow lope there was probably horrible compression because of the rings

It’s out of your hands man, nothing you could have done. I know it sucks bad, but don’t let it knock you down

aren’t those supposed to be new heads? There’s so much carbon buildup behind the valve I don’t understand how that can happen with just a few startup miles if that

220 miles. All normal logs. I have all those miles logged as @Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC was along for the gripes/ride. Installer is working on getting me in. Told him I don’t want the motor as it has junk run through it at 220 miles. That valve didn’t destroy itself so what did?

rings should have seated already or rings were trashed to begin with, set expectations with installer that if the builder wants the long block back, they are to send me a different one or refund my money. I do not want a motor that has trash in it ever, just a ticking time bomb.

im out of mshs next week and if I cant get refunds i eat that cost so joy… 😂
