"First of all, Cody WANTED the engine rebuilt because he did not trust what ALEX had told him about the engine. The car had MANY things that were either broken, hacked together, or missing. Cody was advised that rebuilding the engine would not fix the problem, but he wanted it rebuilt. A compression test was done and it was found the engine was not within spec anyway.The reason that so many things need replaced is because the person who worked on it previously (Alex) hacked the car up.Studs and bolts have been broken, wiring harness cut and then crudely tapped together, the valve cover was pouring oil from a missing seal, half of the bolts that hold the crank pulley to the crank were missing. Most of this was noticed within 5 minutes of the car being dropped off and was pointed out to Cody on the spot. This thread is evidence of the mob mentality persistent on this board when it comes to anything IPS related. Many people made assumptions based on a subject they know NOTHING about, never once stopping to think (or caring) if they were right or not. You should be ashamed of yousrselves.
