[QUOTE="FMD, post: 14254316, member: 140237"] Sid, is there a fix for it at all? I heard that once or twice but never found and clear proof on it. Would swapping to C heads negate that issue at all? Thats what I was going to use instead of the B's for this build. Blue, are you my clone or something? haha Blown, yeah thats what I was thinking. I dont think it had much to do with it, but I definantly think it contributed, of course with no hard proof either. The second the car is actually running again im taking that junk off of my ECU, they used to be so good with their canned tunes... Idk what the hell happened but even the guy who they based their 01 cobra tune off of couldnt fix it after over 7+ attempts. I will never use a can tune again. Oldmod, No I didnt thats a good idea actually. There was metal flakes at the bottom though from a few of the bearings that werent in great shape.
