The stock one is worthless... You could have 5psi of oil pressure yet it still reads on the gauge and looks normal. I'd suggest getting an aftermarket one due to the fact that you already lost 1 motor to it.

Damn man, why didn't you pursue that this further? If need be, unless I am totally missing something, you could have easily won in court. Did you at least report this to the BBB?

grrrr.. already got bad news.. i'm not there so i don't know whats wrong but my buddy said to call my brother who is currently working on it because something is wrong and he has bad news GRRRhttp://dsmstyle.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif. I'll update ya when i can get ahold of him.. he is currently ignoring my calls

EDIT: haha.. sorry i finally got ahold of him and he was pulling my leg.. he started off by saying that they were driving it and when they got back they found the oil pickup tube on the table.. after i went crazy he told me he was just kidding so it is running as of now.. he is going to break it in for me since i don't trust myself enough not to boost it.
