Last straw

[Rawze]

UPDATE:

We pressure tested the intake at the manifold. Head is done. With all rockers and shafts removed, all valves closed, intake valves will not seal properly. they are hemorrhaging air badly on 4 cylinders into the piston chambers and block. the engine is loosing compression badly on pistons 2,3,4,5. #3 is the worst. Every time you bump an exhaust valve stem for #3, the gauge and air flow into the cylinder on the opposite side jumps wildly like the valve is not sealed very much at all.

This thing needs a new head.

---- We also found out that whoever did the inframe re-used the old head. <-- what a waste of several thousands of dollars on a half-arssed inframe!!!>

This would explain all the low power, lower than normal exhaust temps, and the turbo tables needing to be raised through the roof just to make boost on this thing. <- all his problems are now coming together ... head is bad, causing low compression in cylinders, CAC was leaking severely, turbo actuator was causing turbo to be violently unstable, and all the other thing we have found so far is starting to paint a clear picture of why he was having the issues he was this whole time.

-- I feel bad for him ... real bad.

This is what happens when morons re-build an engine (this was a international stealersh$it in Minnesota).. and this is getting more and more common out here any more. -- Where did pride go ??? === where did the give-a-s$it go? === Where did the proper training and methods for what someone does in these so-called "certified" shops go? == it is truly shameful!!!
