I just found out what caused my engine failure. Mike Simons machine shop didnt check the specs on the head. When Mike Simon put my engine together he never checked it either. So the valves crashed against the pistons causing deformation in the piston rings and warping the pistons themselves. They told me that i need everything brand new. I have tried to call Mike Simon 4 diferent times but he screens the calls and doesnt answer. Oh well, this will be my fourth engine. I gave up calling Mike Simon And by the way the car was properly tunned, that is what Mike Simon blamed it on...

You have no luck brother. Screw everyone and return to N/A or get a vortech SC or sell the car.

Yes Mike Simon built it all. I am not trying to give him a bad name. He has built some succesful cars. But he has no customer service, and I wish they would have tested my parts and none of this would have happened. Custom builders should always check the parts before assembly. Anyways they tried..
