              get leak down numbers. the assembler will want them anyway.
              how long was it ran untuned? 10.5 is high enough to wash rings

                untuned it never left the garage. I wanted it tuned before I did anything on the road with it to try and keep the engine good. I will do the leakdown test and such soon here. I am just at a loss right now as to what I want to do until I hear back from Abbott's. Maybe they will let me take it to a place locally here and they will cover the costs to fix the bearing issue and such. I dunno.

                Just upsetting working on this car for what will be a year in a couple of weeks and then find out the bottom end is no good and have to start over again

                    the place that was doing the tuning has seen it happen in the GTPs as well. They could hear something wasn't right in the bottom end, somewhat of a rattle and then seeing the power go down each run confirms the engine is giving out

                        yea that is what it has come too. I have the car back home now. Had our friend who owns a tow company go get it as I did not want to drive it and damage anything further if I can salvage it yet as it has not gone out totally yet

                          sounds more like a lifter issue to me

                            lifter would be a tapping noise though wouldn't it? This is more of a slight rattle in the bottom end. Would a lifter cause power to keep dropping too?

                                a bearing wouldn't really cause power to drop unless it was way to tight.
                                a spun bearing usually rattles and has a HIGH pitch squeak
                                a colapsing lifter will cause power to drop do to not opening the valve completely.
                                without hearing or tearing it apart it only a guess though.
                                does the oil smell like fuel or like burnt oil(if you have ever taken a toasted engine apart you know the smell)
