Default Bad time: Niles Auto Repair

We dropped this car off at Niles auto repair early last week, to take care of the timing issues as we didnt have the time to do something so menial as that here with other projects going on. Picked up the car just after closing on friday, drove it about 10min. to the next town. While driving down the bypass the car started shuttering real bad, the inside of the car filled with smoke, as well as it pouring out from under the hood. Accompanied with a nice spray of oil shooting out from the pass. wheel well. I got it pulled over at the gas station right away and popped the hood. My jaw dropped. There was oil Fucking everywhere. And there was a huge puddle of oil forming beneath the car now, also. The oil was kind of dark in color, almost green looking, which I find strange because I had the pan off and everything just prior to that to install the o-ring someone previously forgot to install. So it was 6 1/4 brand new Mobil-1 5w 30 W/K&N filter.(DCR oiling system). I just cant believe it! This place is Niles auto repair, located in NILES, OHIO. STAY AWAY. Be warned. I had the car towed back so they can fix the fucker right this time. If not, it will go to the Dodge stealership and I will have my attorney send the bill to the repair shop in Niles for payment. Anyone ever heard of this happening, with the oil becoming prematurely dirty/green? The car ran from our shop, to Dodge 20mi. away to have the axels fixed under warranty. Then about 10 miles from Dodge to the Repair facility in Niles. Thats all the time the motor ran, and even @ 2800mi. reg. oil/filter/plugs change intervals, we have never seen the oil in that motor look the way it did. The owner takes great care of his car. And needless to say, now we are in some shit, I am almost certain... Anyone?

Default I had the same exact issue with my Sunfire

I couldn't rev past 2200 RPMS, but the car ran beautifully besides that. The issue ended up being a faulty TPS sensor. Replaced that, and I was back to my balls out 150 NA crank HP.

Sorry, meant to post this in the other thread about your car not reving past 2800.
