performance shop will not admitt they messed up
they used the wrong lube on the cam ( royal purple rearend oil)and set the rocker arms wrong.
killed the cam....killed the engine in 1.5 hours total run time.
spun bearings, siezed piston pins, siezed oil pump, scored pistons, cylinder walls, 3 lobes and lifters wore really bad like 80% gone bad on one.
The shop says I didn't prime the engine long enough. 10+ minutes with drill @1500rpm. untill oil was coming out all pushrods. THE SHOP says it takes at least 30 minutes to prime a SB chevy.had a rebuilt 355SB chevy
it lasted 42,000km
Got another rebuilt 355SB
it lasted 62km.
I still have not had a powerful engine.
slowly building a quicker truck

We were at a buffet meal and the wife said "That's the fourth time you've gone back for dessert, doesn't that embarrass you?" I said "No, I keep telling them it's for you."
