found out the solution too 2 of my problems...we replaced the flex pipe thinking it was the flex pipe causing the exhaust leak....thst did nothing then ended up finding out th\at the main power cable to the starter melted up against the EGR causing my car to short out and cut out which also resulted in burning a hole in the EGR causing the exhaust leak....also found out my rear main oil seal is leaking....fix all those and the car will be running flawless...well still dunno why its running rich tho:S

If you haven't told the builder that yet then he can pay. Yes, they should re-check everything.

Sean the leak is all you on this one I think...If the shop put the motor together and only them well its there fault. You and the builder working on it, I don't think that will fly unless he agrees to split the cost...Yes he could have checked everything but he didn't so you just need to get it fixed. Why wouldn't you just do the LSD with the tranny out and same goes for the mounts....Just remember never rush things take your time and do it right, just my 2 cents.

Is it first downstream o2 then you better get that fixed, and that is probably your issue, I had similar issues over the years attributed to:
- Vac Leak (do you have boost/vac gauge at idle you should see 15-20hg)
- Dirty Maf
- Exhaust leaks before/around o2 sensor
- Faulty o2 sensor
- Early Version Lightweight flywheels. I had a FS lightweight flywheel, even randy couldn't get my car not to stall the drag from the s/c and the lightweight couldn't keep the revs from dropping too fast when it was cold.
Others can maybe add to this list for you.

What size injectors do you have in your car now?....Vac leak or spark plug wires. Did you change your Maf from your stock one?
