They had to change the cams back to stage 3 for it to work past a certain RPM.. Maybe I read that somewhere else..that could be a tuning issue not nessacerily a Atomics workmanship....

Dont think so. I am not a big fan of brand dealerships, but you cant lumber all Ford, or Expensive Daewoo mechanics into a basket for " hopeless mechanics"The bloke who starts up a performance workshop would have done his time maybe at a dealership, and then decided to have a go on his own. Good on him, but that doesnt make him any better of a mechanic than one still working in a dealership.This Brad bloke maybe a great mechanic, but unless he builds every engine himself, he is open to problems like any workshop that employs people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As previously stated could be a number of issues, and no doubt will be something simple. That said when one buys a $14000 engine you should NEVER have issues as far as I'm concerned.

I dont see how a motor cutting out can be a engine problem?? I would dare say something has gone through the motor to close the plugs, brad doesnt use different length rods or anything and all his pistons are the same so dont really think its your bottom end that's the drama.+1 sounds like a installation fault who fitted motor originally? cant be bothered reading to find out...
