    Oil pump driveshaft failure

    I swear this car is cursed, or just flat out hates my guts. I'm on the verge of solving my electrical gremlins and this shit happens. Not really sure what to do about this, engine is fresh built with maybe 5k miles on it. Full rebuild with all new bearings at the bare minimum i suspect.

    Timing issues

    Today on the way to work i did a quick 1-2 pull and i felt a little bit of misfire at the higher rpm. After that the car startes bucking at cruising speed but smoothens out when i give it 20% throttle or more. I reset the base timing last night because my cps had moved a little bit. After i had...
