[QUOTE="hus, post: 8222497, member: 65461"] On the first rebuild I found out that he let one of his flunky helpers do the torque down work on all the studs and bolts. When I looked over the motor and found all the mistakes, I confronted this "friend of the family" mechanic about it and he looked at the motor and fired the guy on the spot. He then ordered all new studs, bolts and gaskets from Ford and fixed it on him. So, I honestly thought when it blew the second time that it had more to do with the Vortech not being intercooled then it did his abilities to fix the motor. I was foolish and let him do it again thinking that nothing would happen with a forged bottom end especially with the addition of the Paxton Intercooler. Now I 110% believe that this guy just isn't going through all the checks and clearences that are needed for a Mod Motor. My fault/stupidity. [/QUOTE]
