Go f yourself you self richest pos... I hope your junk implodes on youSorry if the truth HURTS!
When you send emails and make calls and don't get replies for days then maybe you would do the same.... and ask yoursefl again, do I care if i look like an ahole to you or any other fool here? No I am speaking the truth and most of you idiots don't wanna hear it so be it then.
thank you for sharing what YOU would have done, I shared what I did and like i keep saying I stand behind it.
You build and engine and it leaks oil, you "fix" it, it still leaks oil and the best you can tell me is find the leak and ignore my emails and calls then yes that is not a "real" business or builder in MY opinion. You can be a good business all day long when things are going well but the true test is when **** goes wrong and there was a huge fail here....
engine builder FAIL - {insert name here}
Leaving the name blank for now because I want to see how this will get resolved but it is not looking well.
I wanted to post up and see what the community thinks.
I buy an short block from this builder and bring him all of the rest of my new parts, they very kindly agree to buy what else is needed and assemble the complete engine intake to oil pan for a great price which was great.
Communication before and during the build was amazing!
I pickup the engine, bring it home, install and break in and after parking it the next day I notice an oil leak the size of a silver dollar. Now, if this was a back yard build and some no name place, no surprise, but this is a well known place and a 12k engine should not leak a drop. So I contact the builder, starting to see communication is not that good, getting crickets and when I do get a reply it is excuses on why they can't answer the phone. The gist of the back and forth was I had to find the leak. So I dyed the oil and after pulling the trans and bell I traced it to either the rear main or pan gasket. Now, mind you, one man show here, I am just one guy so this is not an easy job but hey it is what it is.
Contact engine builder. He says pull the engine and bring it to me I will fix it. Whoa, I have to rent a truck and pull the engine and bring it to you? Finally I get him to agree to come and fix it at my house as he lives about 1 hour away. This was very cool of him and much appreciated. So I pull the engine, put it on a stand and he does the work and says give it a couple days and you are good to go.
Okay great! Put the engine back in, trans and all and great, now I can enjoy my car and get it tuned.
During this whole time I was planning a move, so now I do not live 1 hour away but I am wayyyy down south, 22 hours away from him now. I move, get my cars shipped and l park the mustang in the garage.
Sure enough, look under the mustang ( maybe about 30 miles since he replaced the pan gasket and rear main and there is the same leak, potentially the same since I have not pulled the trans to dye it again but there is a silver dollar of oil under the car.
Reach out to engine builder again, same crappy communication and pretty much I am told again, find the leak, there is no way it can be leaking there again. Okay well I didn't change anything else, nothing was done to the car so common sense would tell me it is coming from the same place. Again, he tells me, find the leak. I ask okay so I have to pull the trans and engine again? What then? As far as I can tell I am [email protected] outta luck and pretty much being told to go pound sand. Because okay, let's say it is not the oil pan or rear main again, no matter what is leaking it was not from something I did because they assembled the whole engine minus the valve covers but I know for a FACT they are not leaking.
What would you do, just curious because this has been a dream to have an engine built like this and finally finish my car and now to have to deal with this has been a nightmare that I know most likely won't get resolved, especially since I am living 22 hours away now.
Has anyone else built the engine of their dreams, spent a ton of money to have this or worse happen, what happened?

Easy on the politics. I would like to reread this thread in the future.Moron who isn't running a PCV on his street engine wonders why he has leaks. Blames/slanders the engine builder. Doesn't listen to anyone. Makes double and triple angry posts. Plays the victim by accusing everyone else of "ganging up on him."
Seems like a typical Deplorable Trumpster move, by-the-way. Act like an ignorant, petulant douch nozzle and then blame everyone else for all your problems. Just like your cult leader.
That about sum up the thread or did I miss something between page 2 and page 9, which I did not read?
Let's Go Brandon btw lol
If Woody would've just spread this dudes butt cheeks and sucked a fart right out of his ass after he finished working at the dude's house, this thread would've never happened! It's all Woody's fault! His customer service just doesn't cut it anymore.
Really, between the candidates we've had to choose from recently, has there been what one might consider a possible positive outcome? Rhetorical question, please don't discuss, LOL!Easy on the politics. I would like to reread this thread in the future.

How is this 5.0/5.8 Engine Tech?
You’re right… a 363 has no business here it’s a 5.9How is this 5.0/5.8 Engine Tech?
The 363 is a stroker built on a “5.0”/8.2” deck height block.How is this 5.0/5.8 Engine Tech?
But yeah, probably belongs in the Lounge.
You get it big pants man.You’re right… a 363 has no business here it’s a 5.9
I couldn't agree with you more because there is not much technical value to be found in this thread.But yeah, probably belongs in the Lounge.
Gone are the days of fluent enticing debates between members and present are the days opposite.
It's still entertaining though.
Engine builder is not necessarily an engine installer.
Yes you just left out the part where your disrespectful ass sat inside while he fixed your junk. That was the point. But there you go again, cant seem to get past a post without the word retard in it in some form. Lololol. But now all the capitals start making an appearance too in responses. Youre unstable, Im actually happy for Jim he doesnt have to deal with you anymore.WOW WOW YES this is great I can finally prove your retardation, man you guys keep drawing me out but it is fun....HERE IS A CUT AND PASTE FROM MY FIRST POST....
"Contact engine builder. He says pull the engine and bring it to me I will fix it. Whoa, I have to rent a truck and pull the engine and bring it to you?

This absolutly proves your retardation. who is the troll now, BYE BYE dumbass...
Probably can measure with a manometerIs there a way to measure crankcase pressure? If so, how and what results would point to it being too much? Just curious as I’m chasing what I believe to be a RMS leak.
Mammogram would probably also do it.Probably can measure with a manometer
Or plugging the oil leak with a tampon, Im sure the OP has a bunch just in case.Mammogram would probably also do it.
Wait, so are you saying at one point his customer service was so good he was performing the unscrupulous acts on customers? I must of bought my engine after he went down hill, I didnt get this treatment and even picked mine up at his house!If Woody would've just spread this dudes butt cheeks and sucked a fart right out of his ass after he finished working at the dude's house, this thread would've never happened! It's all Woody's fault! His customer service just doesn't cut it anymore.
Alright I think weve all taken some good shots at this point. Lets all just let bubba87363GT go on his merry way and not figure out his oil leak. After all "he will get around to it at some point", even though it was do detrimental at the moment he had to make a post about it right now.
Couldn't sleep and wound up reading this entire thread.
OP you have some serious soul searching to do, you deserve everything you got in this thread. The whole premise of the thread was asking " the community" what they thought.
They told you, and you argued with everyone who told you what to do. Your not going to get any sympathy bashing arguably one of the best SBF engine builders alive, as if you know better.
