Corvettes Of Westchester, Low Oil Pressure Reading, Ls2 Disaster Pictures, Upon Tear

THIS HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WAS THE RESULT OF A BAD TUNE AND LOW OIL PRESSURE READING THAT WAS IGNORED BY CORVETTES OF WESTCHESTER. THE LOW OIL PRESSURE READING WAS BROUGHT TO HIS ATTENTION AND HE COMPLETELY DISMISSED THE PROBLEM.

HE SAID THAT " THERE WAS NO PROBLEM THE OIL PUMP WAS MODIFIED " THESE ARE THE PICTURES OF MY ENGINE, AFTER IT WAS CAREFULLY TAKEN APART AND INSPECTED. THE CAUSE OF MY LOW OIL PRESSURE READING WAS SOON DISCOVERED, WHICH WREAKED HAVOC AND SUBSEQUENTLY RESULTED IN COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF THE ENGINE WHICH COMBINED WITH A HORRIBLE HACKED TUNE COULD ONLY SPELL DISASTER. LOOK AT THE PISTONS AND VALVES FRIED CHICKEN.

THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCES I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED WITH SOMEONE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. CHUCK HAD THE VETTE FOR MORE THAN NINE MONTHS FOR A PROJECT THAT MIGHT HAVE TAKEN MOST REPUTABLE SHOPS MAXIMUM 3 WEEKS TO A MONTH TO COMPLETE. HE IS COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND LACKS THE BASIC AND ESSENTIAL CUSTOMER SERVICE KNOWLEDGE OF RUNNING A BUSINESS SUCCESSFULLY. I HOPE NO ONE ELSE GOES THRU THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS I DID WITH THOUSANDS OF WASTED DOLLARS IN THE PROCESS.

1 THRU 3 PICTURES YOU CAN OBSERVE A HOLE IN MY VICTORY HIGH DOLLAR VALVE, WHERE DID THAT PART GO?

3 THRU 6 PITURES SEE THE PLUNGER ON THE OIL PUMP NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY!! PROBABLY AN OBSTACLE STUCK IN THE TUNNEL.

7 AND 8 SEE THE DETONATION AND DAMAGE?

9 THRU 12 ALL LIFTERS BUSTED.

WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE FORGED PISTON?
CLEAR SIGN OF DETONATION AND A BAD TUNE.
THE REST IS SELF EXPLANATORY!!

If I ever pulled a head off a car after I had tuned it and it had cruddy build up like that on it I'd seriously find another occupation. What a disgusting mess.

THIS IS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE, I WANT TO SAVE OTHERS FROM GOING TO THIS HACK.

NOT ONLY DID HE NOT TUNE THE VETTE THE RIGHT WAY, BUT HE GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH LOW OIL PRESSURE.

I GOT THE FEELING HE USED ME AS AN EXPERIMENT THAT WENT BAD AND I WAS THE ONE THAT PAID FOR HIS EXPERIMENTS. ALL I WANTED WAS TO HAVE A RELIABLE FAST MODDED VETTE!! DO YOU BLAME ME?

HE CAN PRETEND HE IS AN OSTRICH AND HIDE HIS HEAD UNDER THE DIRT. BUT EVERYONE IS WATCHING.. HEY CHUCK GOOD LUCK IN PROMOTING MORE BUSINESS AROUND THE ISLAND AND WESTCHESTER YOU HACK.. YOU DIDN'T CALL ME BACK WHEN I TOLD YOU ABOUT MY LOW OIL PRESSURE FROM DAY ONE, AND YOU HAD MY VETTE ON YOUR LIFT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.

NEXT TIME YOU USE SOMEONE TO TEST YOUR EXPERIMENTS, WARN THEM OF YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IN THIS BUSINESS. YOU COST ME THOUSANDS AND I HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR!!

SORRY FOR VENTING GUYS, I DIDN'T DESERVE THIS HACK JOB . I THOUGHT HE WAS MY FRIEND AND HE BACK STABBED ME !!

Bon
IT SHOWED LOW OIL PRESSURE FOR 3 MONTHS, AND CHUCK KNEW ABOUT IT WHILE HE WAS TUNING MY CAR WITH ME IN THE PASSANGER SEAT. HE SAID IT WAS OK AND THAT HE MODIFIED THE OIL PUMP.

I HONESTLY THOUGHT THAT THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WAS OK ON THIS BUILD SINCE CHUCK SAID IT WAS OK, I DROVE IT FOR THREE MONTHS AND NO PROBLEMS TILL THE LOW OIL PRESSURE FINALLY WENT TO ZEROO0000..

WHEN the CURRENT SHOP OPENED UP THE ENGINE, THEY FOUND WHAT YOU SEE HERE GUYS.

OK I AM DONE VENTING. THANKS FOR LISTENING GUYS!!
