I cannot believe this!!!

Well long story short my motor is coming back out. I went to start my car up for the first time in a week to go to the track. Drove to the track and everything was fine. Went and took my first pass and my check engine light came on and the pass felt bad. Ended up a 13.0 at 104 Needless to say i was pissed. Let the car cool off and thinking for some reason my tune got kicked out i uploaded my tune again. Second pass went better but still crap, 12.7 at 107. So i let it cool down again to run one more time. Well the third time was all it took. Now i have a damn tick coming from my heads. The shop that installed my cams said it sounds like a vavle spring. So i had the car towed home and now tomorrow i get to tear this p.o.s back apart. This set-up only has 2000 miles on it and not even 10 passes and a mf'n valve spring breaks. The only good thing is im going to be doing heads and long tubes before it goes back in. Im debating on to go back to a stock p.i motor and run trickflow heads or run my mark 8 bottom end and go with patriot heads.

...end rant....

Tore the heads off tonight and everything was fine in the top end. Metal is the oil pan though so I guess it spun a bearing. My question now is who makes a good stroker short block? I know mmr but does anyone else match up with them? If I do go with mmr I might go with a long block and get ported heads at the same time. I do know the car will be down for a couple months now that its not the heads

I am running stock heads now and it is a good bit of metal in the oil

I light came on at the end of the run like right when I crossed the traps. I didn't even think to pull the code.
