Until the motor is torn down, its hard to say its the tuner's fault. If the motor was starved for oil due to a bad oil pump you cant blame it on the tuner. Again, not taking sides... But there are so many factors outside of the control of the tuner.
Joepro's suggestion would probably be best. Put the motor back to stock and have the dealer look it over. Keep in mind, if the dealer does figure out the car was modded you can be on the hook the diagnostics labor. |

I would suggest getting a good nights sleep and rethink things in the morning. Decision making while being upset is not a good idea and often never solves anything...

To get it back to stock to the point it would be believable in itself would be a huge gamble for the price it would cost. |

Well z1 has 2 also mine included under their belt. It happens guys, soon or later without a built block. As a rule of thumb, if you do not have the funds later on when and if things like this happen you should not have gone fi. Our motors already are high compression and are not built for boost like the all mighty gtr..

I'm with you buddy, if in fact vsr is at fault they should step up and do the right thing considering how much you have already been through.. They just built my long block and you can rest assure if anything happens to it there will be legal repercussions and I made that Very clear to bobby...

was it a bearing or a piston that went? I can't remember which of the other threads it was in but they said they were they couldn't get the oil lines from gtm to fit so they made their own or something right? what if they F'd up putting that together and it wasn't getting enough oil?
Edit: How many leftover parts did they have in the box after the instal haha
