I put the SOS Pod with the Speedhut EGT and Boost Gauge in the car so it is not sitting in the garage where my dumbass will possibly break it.Yesterday I decided to put a few miles on the car, 5 to be exact and things did not go so well.The car runs hard, no doubt, however I doubt I will put anymore miles on this engine. I have been seeing an issue every now and then where, at idle, the oil pressure gauge wigs out and falls to zero then goes right back to normal. I have not had any noise other than possible tensioner noise at startup so I figured it is just the shit Melling Timing Components.I took the car to the local Detailer’s Garage to get a foam cannon and some other stuff. When I got there I notice the oil pressure at zero when at idle but as soon as I blipped the throttle it came back to normal and stayed. This time it concerned me but no noise still.Went in to get the stuff and got back in the car there was a noise about 8 times which was on a consistent interval then went away and never came back. But, the oil pressure gauge kept dropping to zero at almost every stop but again, a slight blip in throttle would bring it back up.The guy who built the engine is supposed to be somebody that the Saleen and Shelby guys go to for their modular builds. I don’t know who is to blame for this engine. It has 310 miles on the engine, dyno sheet shows decent power for a low compression NA engine, I am sure being a stroker helped that. But I cannot trust the engine at this point.The good news is that I found the, what are said to be ported heads, are DB castings so I think the engine will get pulled sooner to use these heads instead of the AGs I have.I think I am selling the Procharger P1SC-1H and bracket and getting a Vortech V1 Si.I am goin to sell the BBK Catted X Pipe and Aluminum Mac Prochamber.I need to get the crank pulley puller for the Coyote so I can finish taking it apart in preparation for it’s rebuild and install in the GT and then pull the Mach 1 in and start disassembly for the new engine since there is no point in driving it anymore and risking damage.</blockquote>
