Need opinions/advice:
A couple months ago I got a local engine shop to rebuild my 7-bolt 4g63t.
I got the engine pulled at my buddies' family shop, then dropped it off at another shop(local engine shop) for them to completely disassemble the engine and rebuild it for me, they hot tanked the block and all that. I supplied them with the new parts to put in, rods, pistons, valves, all new bearings and studs , literally a full rebuild. The engine shop called a few days later saying it was ready to go and it should just drop in and fire right up. Excited as all hell it finally got put back in the car, and my buddy(also my mechanic) attempted to start it. No spark. After a bunch of diagnosing, turns out the engine shop installed the crank sensor backwards. My buddy replaced the crank sensor, still no spark. And in the progress of trying to start it, the timing belt jumped; The engine shop also put the T-belt tensioner on wrong. Coulda bent my brand new valves!!!!! After retiming the engine with the belt tensioned properly, my buddy tried firing it again. She fired up. BUT, as soon as it built up a bit of oil pressure the OILPAN STARTED PISSING OIL!!!!!!!!! LIKE WHAT?!?!?!? the engine shop once again, had the oilpan on way to tight, crushing the gasket and causing it to leak. So after 10+ hours of fixing the engine shops mistakes the car finally ran. and it ran good for the first 1500 km's. I was doing a good break in. it hadnt seen redline, easy shifts, etc. One day after work i pull up to a friends house and hear a crazy metallic ticking noise coming from the engine. WTF. Did some diagnosing myself and found the crank pulley had started swaying side to side out of nowhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!! pulled the wheel off and tried physically pulling the crank by hand and sure enugh it F***ing has like a half inch of play both ways.... The engine shop says its because of too much pressure on the crank, because of my clutch. But no, f**** that it was fine till they rebuilt it! I literally drove it for 1500km and then bam out of nowhere i got the tick of doom. So i honestly am almost positive my blocks' oil squirters are fine. which is the reason 2g's Crankwalk. So it had 138,500 km on it when i got it rebuilt, it was at 140,000 when it occured. so please. some DSM God chime in?
