Default Youve gotta be kidding.

As if working a 14 hour day isn't bad enought. How about working a 14 hour day and blowing up a $3,000 motor on the way home? All I know it im driving home NORMALLY and out of nowhere I get tons of white smoke out of the muffler. Stop the car and guess what??! It wont start.Waited for an hour and PAID for a tow andwell I took the head off and this is what we've got. Skunk2 ECU must have ran lean and put a connecting rod thru my block. Im steaming right now. This engine isnt even paid for yet.

Wait, you have a Skunk 2 ECU? Did it come with any kind of warranty? Call them and find out if they will cover any of the damage if their ECU caused it.
