it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
Well its a little late not to run the motor haha. And as far as getting what I payed for goes, I've heard similar stories from guys who have bought LSX blocks and had similar problems within 10 min of running it.

Apologies for the misunderstanding, but no I did not say that because you have an LSX. I didn't even read your sig until just now.
I was referring to an off the shelf short block. Keep in mind that even 6 sigma companies still make bad product that hits the shelves.
