Re: Update On Talon!
Cool, what all did you get taken care of? I see the timing stuff on, so I guess you're all finished up with the rebuild process? Did you end up doing a stock rebuild, or throw in some fun stuff?  |

well it was just a bare block so we got all of that done in about 7 hours. So yeah finished with the rebuilding process.. I guess you could say i threw in stuff. I had all my mods on last time on the old rebuild then 7 miles down the road it locked up on me so thats why i had to do this rebuild again |

Re: Update On Talon!
Who built the first engine which locked up and why did it lock up?

I don't know the name of the engine shop that did it the first time but it locked up because they didn't use threadlock on anything when they assembled and the oil pickup tube came unbolted and no oil got to anything for 7 miles.
Take a gander

Re: Update On Talon!
Ouch! Dont you have an oil pressure gauge? If I dont see oil pressure instantly at start up, I shut it down ASAP!

Re: Update On Talon!
Did the machine shop end up paying for the damages? Normally they warrantee their work.

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?

Re: Update On Talon!
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 GRRR  . 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.
