Had me ship the engine back, tore it down, new bearing, rings etc but he said the old stuff wasn't really hurt, charged me about 5 thousand dollars more. Next time out I made it thru about 10 minutes of a session when the oil pressure started dropping. Pulled the filter and it was full of metal. His response to me was I must have been doing something wrong and told me to ship it back to him. I'm stupid but not that stupid. Sent the engine to Tony Oddo, got rid of the cheap parts that had been used and it has run like a top ever since. Never got one receipt from Lambeck for all the work done either.
