You're going to have to haul that heap over to Sterling with your new Silverado SS so that I can get it on the road for you before I get a high falutin' exec job.

Thought it through enough yet?
You're not fit to tune a lawn mower and I wouldn't take your shop an RC car.
ALLTRBO's having some health issues, so I'm helping him unscrew your work.
In order to use the pushrod length checker, I have to remove the lower intake manifold. I pulled everything down to the point of being ready to lift the manifold off, but stopped because we hadn't drained the coolant, and it was late.
NOTHING I TOUCHED HAD GOOD WORKMANSHIP.
- The fuel pressure regulator was connected to the PCV system. There's a big part of why it ran rough.
- The fuel return line was hacksawed, NOT EVEN DRESSED, much less beaded/flared, in the middle of a bend and the return hose slipped on over it.
- The charge pipe I took apart to remove the throttle had the same treatment... rough sawed edges in the middle of a bend with no attempt made to dress the cut. IN THE MIDDLE OF A BEND, so there's no straight tube for the hose to clamp to, much less a bead to hold high boost.
- The throttle cable housing bracket is screwed to the strut tower. DO YOU REALIZE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THAT WHEN THE ENGINE MOVES ON ITS MOUNTS?!?! This defect is actually dangerous to drive.
- The throttle cable bracket didn't fit the end clip on the cable housing, but the plastic clip was pounded into the bracket anyway.
- The pin and sping clip GM used to secure the throttle cable to the throttle cam had been replaced with a random screw with a mangled phillips head and an odd size nut.
- The lower manifold bolts had varying numbers of marcel washers on them. Obviously you mixed up the washers and couldn't even be bothered to count how many washers you had to put on each bolt.
- Odd and mismatched bolts everywhere, as if you took all the bolts off, tossed them in a bucket, kicked the bucket over and lost half the bolts, then picked up replacements at Home Depot Racing.
- Upper intake manifold bolts poorly torqued.
- Used a 3/8" wide pulley on the tensioner, causing the serpentine belt to shred within about 20 minutes of IDLE time following delivery.

I've been there with a bad turbo install so I know exactly how it feels.
Hope to see this thing back on the road running like it should.

It's not just that it's a bad install.. he was paid for it and denies that there's anything wrong. [This message has been edited by Will (edited 02-03-2015).]
