George-
They say ALL components have been changed. I don't believe them. I mean new engine block...EVERYTHING!
My analysis would be hot spot on the heads causing a guide to stick, the rocker throws (you can really hear the rattle when it goes) then the vales bend.
It seems to be the same cylinders..Again, something must be carried over.
I would love to talk openly about this but the people doing the work farm the engine work out so i am not totally sure they are at fault (and I don't want to bash here).
We might get our work done at the same place sometimes...enough said
The engine does run strong, but it has gone out the first 20-30 minutes each time! Differnt RPMs, different speeds. no consistancy when it goes out. Only that it fails very quickly.
Feel free to call my cell 858-705-4772. My fingures can't keep up.
I do appreciate the help!
