There were what 2 over there, we have yours, airnights (RIP), and that NECO fella, but I think his was timing chain shredagge.
2 over there - don't know
Todras was not inspecting the block
Airnight was NO TUNING
Puck was mix matching timing components
That makes 3 builder error and IMO 2 "assumed" builder errors.
That's not the 3L's fault and yes I'm being a mean SOB because people like passing the buck just too damn much!
How many have 3L's that are running just fine???

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I'm not passing the buck. I don't think Terry is either. His engines ahven't had any problems due to him. The only issue was cpasut's but that was due to a chain going. His was a casualty to the bad batch. That's how the timing chain issue came about. The only other thing I can think of is poor conrod's. But as Demon stated tons out there running fine. Is their something about some of the 01+ conrod's? All I know is I'm going to have someone go through this engine & I'm throwing it in. If it dies then the car is getting parted out.

yeah but it's alot cheaper to run what you have then dump $$$$ into a 3L and risk failure.
