HI!... Sorry to hear about your problems with your truck. After reading your story I'm even pissed off at that situation now!!! Tommy better be glad that it wasn't me he was dealing with. I would of drove my truck through his front shop window ..... got out and knocked him the phuk out and sat there and waited till he woke up and knocked him the phuk out again.

I bought a Sean Hyland motor last year and almost in same situation you are. Pulled my 9000 mile stock motor out ,installed the SHM motor , first fire up, cams broke the keyways and went out of time only 30 seconds of running, SHM bigger cams. Had stock ford cams installed, ran good the first 100 miles, next morning started it sounded like a diesel knocking waited for it to warm up to see if it went away, nope been there constant for 1000 miles, started noticing my ,coolant turn white leaking oil into the coolant , stopped driving it since last 9 months waiting for the temps to cool down some ,putting stock motor back in next few weeks take the SHM motor to local builder Duffee motorsports , He is a very detailed minded person and it will be done right the first time, new pistons, rings and wrist pins and everything gone over and checked. Luckily i saved my stock motor. I talked to a lawyer about this situation but them being in Canada just wasn't worth the money or aggrivation. Best of luck to you.

This is too bad. I've heard a lot of good things about Tommy, but only bad things about his engines. Maybe he should stick to other things.

Damn that sucks.

Talk to Tim, HE'll have good info, and LISTEN TO HIM!

I had a "tooner" earlier this year screw up my truck and then the shop blamed ME for it, saying the tune doesn't change so it must be something I did.
after spending about $600 in parts that he told me to replace, I went elsewhere and told him to shove it.

Neal HI!... Sorry to hear about your problems with your truck. After reading your story I'm even pissed off at that situation now!!! Tommy better be glad that it wasn't me he was dealing with. I would of drove my truck through his front shop window ..... got out and knocked him the phuk out and sat there and waited till he woke up and knocked him the phuk out again.
This was the funniest damn thing I read in a long time, even my girlfriend is laughing.

But back to more serious things, Tommy should do the right thing and stand behind his work, if that doesn't work, legal action may be your next step.
Talk to some LOONY members, maybe they can they can send some "wiseguys" down there to "assist" you

Matt, I went through a similar incident with REM last year. They never reimbursed my money or fixed my problem. Hang in there.

A man of my own heart!!! I've used that saying a few times myself


This ported blower fiasco should be taken offline before it polutes this post........not that there is anything positive in this post, until the "all fixed" thread arrives
