Well apparently this post needs made casue some people have not been following the story and dont have the facts straight what so ever!
Topleadsbiz (Chris) brought his car to a place called Tech1 over in Tampa to have them swap out his used 5.0 which had 200k miles on it for a newer lower milage motor.
Tech1 screwed this kid over! They sold him what looks to be a 5.0 out of a Lincoln (non HO) and now also has oiling issues.

There are now 4 shops involved in this ordeal and this is where the clearification needs to be made for everyone to see.
Tech1 is the bad guy here. They took this kids money, sold him a non HO 5.0 and the motor is junk.
Genium Performance, Ford Speed, and All American are just caught up in the middle since this kid has contacted all three of us to get some help and pointed in the right direction of what he needs to do to make everything right.
Thanks to T/S #25 (Joe @ Ford Speed) for going over and figuring out that the firing order was wrong and it is a non HO 5.0 motor
All American....I know he has contatced you but I dont know what you all have talked about. But I am sure a thanks is in order.
Third.....it has ended up at my shop. All we have done was check the vehicle out for the oiling issue when hot. What we have found is that when the oil gets hot you no longer have oil pressure. Two things usually cause that....one: junk in the oil pan (clogging oil pick up screen) or two: excessive bearing clearance.
My name was put in these posts just to show what has been found with the motor that
TECH1 sold him and installed. I have written up a story of what we found on one of my company letter heads so Chris can use it to his advantage with dealing with Tech1.

So.....Genium Performance, Ford Speed, and All American are in
no way involved with the motor that has been installed in Chris's car. We have all just been contacted to look over and fix what Tech1 has screwed up.
It really is a shame that I needed to make this post. But this hole ordeal has now become a
HUGE cluster fuck! There are way too many hands in the cookie jar right now and there is soon to be more I am affraid.

This is absolutly ridiculous that I have to spend my first few hours in the shop in the morning dealing with this BS instead of working on customers cars!
