    That was aluminum randy. The thread chaser was greased to capture any material and the block was upright when they were chased. The bearing material fell apart in my hands when I touched it. That’s what it was 100%, but it’s hard for you to know that because you are on the other end of your keyboard and you weren’t there:D

    If you have a problem then shoot me a PM and we can discuss it, but the last thing you’ll ever get from me is an apology, so you can forget about that. You are disrespectful and impossible to have a productive conversation with. Feel free to post whatever you want. Everyone will see I tried to be cordial with you and you started hurling insults at me like a child. I ultimately decided to take it to a machine shop and not have you buy it back because we were getting no in our conversation and I didnt feel like dealing with your crazy ass in person.

    Also, do you really think the youtube sensation you hired to pull the motor and totally wreck your wiring didn’t go and flog the shit out of your truck before pulling the motor you sold me? Don’t be so naive Randy, that thing was junk as soon as you handed him the keys

    1. You bet I was crazy because you insulted me by saying I sold you a bad engine! That really pissed me off!

    Again not one bit of glitter in the oil that you drained from the engine otherwise you would have said something BEFORE you tore apart the engine. Yes, or No⁉️ I believe the oil that was in the engine had over 2500 miles on it but I don’t remember off the top of my head but I can see if I still have the log book I keep on all my vehicles.

    Oh, Einstein the truck would NOT run when I left the state of Texas so there’s absolutely no way! As I pulled out the Heltech along with the green wiring harness that “I” stuff behind the passenger side kick panel before I left as I was there for two days pulling the truck apart before catching a flight home! The CON man didn’t want to remove anything that was not factory.
    Yeah I fucked up by letting a Bull Shit artist from Texas work on my truck! That I can’t deny, I got scammed‼️

    BUT AGAIN WHY DID YOU NOT SEE ANY GLITTER OR SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE OIL THAT YOU HAD TO DRAIN FROM THE ENGINE?

    BUT AFTER YOU REASSEMBLED THE ENGINE, YOU GOT LESS THAN 800 MILES BEFORE IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING APART or words to that effect from your mouth!

    You tear the engine apart this far (1st photo) and DID NOT see an issue, but now it’s my fault? Face it you Fucked Up‼️
    Then the second photo below another member basically says you drop something in the engine and your friend Mark and myself likes the members statement.

    Again Robert
    :luvya:

    You may think your perfect, but you’re not you fucked up and drop shavings in the engine that you didn’t retrieve. Face it!

    Sorry, But I’m not going to take this shit from someone who I sold a perfectly good engine to withOUT any issues.

    Absolutely NO Glitter in the oil and I drove from AZ to TX plus some on the same 5w/30 Mobil 1 oil w/ Toyota filter. I think I said it had 27k miles that was wrong that’s what it had when I purchased the truck and when ass hole purchased the engine it had 36k. I had a brain fart my bad I admit when I’m wrong.

    Then the (asshole) COMPLETELY pulls the engine apart to run a tap in every hole and leaves foreign material / “aluminum” in the engine somewhere. Then gets less than 800 miles before the material does damage then he has the balls to blame me! WTF⁉️ Plus remember he tore the engine apart and inspected it I’m sure. His only complaint was the pistons had a lot of carbon buildup on them.

    I’m serious I purchased the truck and the original owner was in her late 80’s but the truck is a manual. I asked her. Ma’am can I ask why you bought a manual transmission truck? Her exact quote was “Growing up on the farm that’s all I knew how to drive… I wanted to put my arms around her to hug her…

    If he would have purchased it from a company w/ any warranty it may have had, the warranty would have been VOIDED! Then I tell him to bring me the engine and I will refund his f*cking money. (More than anyone else would do from his sorry ass) I called the GM @ LCE to get a price to refresh the engine. Plus I’m 100% dead serious someone else offered me $1,000 more than I sold him the engine for. But I’m the dumb shit for trying to help his sorry ass because he was kind enough to help me with information.

    Again I offered to refund his money. But he says no I’ll just keep it. Then keep it and shut up.
    I’m not apologizing again because I don’t lie about shit like this!

    *EDIT*
    Oh, and the LCE / Magnuson Supercharger system is running @ 5 lbs of Boost per the new Snow water / meth PSI Gauge. At least that’s the most I can get out of it and I tried to get more but it wasn’t giving any more!!
    My Butt Dyno is old, but it doesn’t feel to have the same HP as it had before with more boost! And that’s just fine with me.

    Plus now the system is running much better as in “Drive Ability” as it’s not stumbling after the shift at least I’m not noticing it anymore or it’s not as bad as it was!

    If you purchase the system I highly recommend the Heltech even though it’s not cheap but I’m sure it’s safe as I haven’t noticed any pinging!
    I still haven’t driven to the North to see if it will ping going up any long 6% or more grades in a 110+ degree weather w/ AC and cruise control set. The cruise control really puts a load on the engine and will kick off when too much load is being applied. I need to contact the GM @ LCE to give him more feedback.

    Good luck!
