Angry Talk me off the ledge, please...

Long story short... Full Motor rebuild last April-June. Sleeved block, JE 9.8:1 pistons, New OEM Crankshaft, New oil pump, pump chain, tensioner. AEM EMS, RC 650 injectors, tune.

Since then, I have experienced:

- Blown headgasket... Caused by rubbing coolant hose. Head Pulled $$$$

- Oil pump FAILURE on startup... Had the car flatbedded then and there. Replaced pump, other work $$$

- Heavy burning of oil, finally diagnosed as smaller than required oil rings that JE supplied. Motor PULLED $$$$

Which brings me to today...

-Last week, car died on me on I-4 during morning commute. Would not turn over. Got flatbedded to shop. Battery was diagnosed to be bad, replaced. Pick up car, drive 30 mins, it dies at a gas station. After a jump, drive back to shop.

Turns out I have VERY LOW OIL PRESSURE. Motor is being PULLED....



-Matt
