Yeah back then they were as no one really knew about the modulars to that degree. That was before they left SHM due to differences in how SHM wanted the engines to be and how he ran the company. So Scott and Jim left opened up VT Engines and SHM told them if they told anyone about his day to day in house shop operations SHM would sue them.

Thing is SHM has a huge bad reputation for not standing behind their work. I talked with scott on it on another site he is on about SHM a while back. Alot of people with engines going bad, oil pump gears failing, etc. They all seem to go to him for advice because SHM doesn't have a clue what the hell went wrong.

I know quite a bit about the car and engine. Yes in 03 Tim replaced the clutch but you didn't you send like 1 or 2 of them back to spec for failure.

Yeah a car not able to idle right and running rich to the point of gas coming out the exhaust pipe isnt bad at all huh? Like I said maybe you should just get it fixed.
