Dude, you sound like a fucking idiot. Your shits fucked, so get over it. I don't really know what answer you're trying to get. It's your car, you should know what happened, all we're doing is taking guesses on what could have happened.

I never said that was what you did Phil but with a destroyed clutch and a bent crank something seriously went wrong with the setup if it only had 90 miles on it..

Did you guys, builder or owner even break it in before beating the piss outta it??

If your not comfortable with what you think happened take the motor somewhere like inline who deal with lots of S2K's and see what they think..

Exactly, start pulling off belts see if the crank is still locked up. If it is take your oil pan off and start the taking mains off the crank till she frees up.

I guess you took it back to the people who built it. If not, don't. Take it to someone who doesn't have to pay for the fuck up and get the real truth of what happened.

Ditto. H22madness, not being rude but pleaes use a little more grammar so your statements are easier to read. I'm not getting much out of all the posts. I can't imagine this will be cheap to fix at all. I've had one built motor and honestly may not ever have one again unless I buy one from Spoon.

Guys please understand my my anger a little I cant go into the details because Im like yall trying to get an opinion, yes I gave the car a few passes at the track Samuels you know the track, but if the car was going to f up then it should have done that then, the car had a base tune on it from vortech thats all it also has an AEM ecm in it, I'm assuming the crank has a problem because pistons 1 and 4 dont line up, to my knowledge the engine itself has not been broken down yet so I cant say what it is for certain except for what I have already visualized the way 1 and 4 are I'm gonna say there may be valve damage as for the shifting I'm sorry the only problem I've had with the S2 is second gear nothing else so Im not trying to piss anyone off They just have'nt told me anything yet. I've talked to someone at Inline Pro and we have already come to the same conclusion about the clutch and they say they have something that will work. I drove my S2 hard only on the track and I know there is a break in period but I know plenty of tuners that have gotten a little hard on there built motors for a few races and nothing has happened to theres so I wont blame it on break in period either

the crank will turn but 1@4 are binding the oil in the pan shows no sort of metal chips the rods look good but have not been taken out, the car is still there because I took it to get a smaller s/c pulley installed and a real tune on it but when started back up it locked the the head is still attached so cant really say what is what at this time

Damn sorry to hear about your bad luck...
Sounds like you have every reason to worry...
Hope whoever built it takes care of this.

when you say built motor but then you question it.. I dont understand that statement.

were you running the three puck clutch?
I ran that on turbo car and it lasted about a week..lol.
so if thats the one I understand about it not holding.

who built it?

It is hard to say what caused it, but 90 miles is not alot. Sometimes shit happens and sometimes people f 'up on the assembly. But once it is blown depending on how bad it is you might not be able to find out what caused it to do so. You have to choose your engine builders very wisely. But good luck with that really.
