Or something else was damaged or messed up during the timing belt insult. Meanwhile, my car sits in his yard without having been touched going on the second week.

An AEM High Flow In-Tank Fuel Pump was installed with no change in symptoms...

I need my car back...I can't do this any longer, smh.

Just picked it up from the shop today. Timing belt re-tightened, and AEM fuel pump installed. Nothing has changed...still with loss of power WOT @ 5000 rpm. Can't dump any more money into it like this so put it back in my garage.

Pulled out of the driveway to go fishing and car dies. I'm throwing a P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor again. Was able to restart it and put it back in the garage. This is a recurring issue so I'm going to replace it once and for all...hope it solves the big picture as well.

Decided to take the risk of driving it to the shop and made it without incident. Picked up the car today, crankshaft sensor replaced...but no change, "darn it Jim!"...

Something is going on mechanically...again, I'm pushing the dipstick out when I boost. I can't rev past 5500 rpms PERIOD! Whether I'm WOT or not, I can't get past 5500 rpms. It's as if it hits a limiter and won't progress. Wth happened? If I'm WOT, and it hits that "limit", the transmission won't upshift either... UNLESS I back off the throttle a bit, and THEN it'll shift, but I still can't get past 5500 rpms in the next higher gear.

hey not sure if you've tried it or checked yet but what if your pcv valve is stuck closed thus you're pressurizing the crank case putting stress on the internals? Not sure if it would cause the problem you're having, it sounds like something happened when they rebuilt your head... if you google search cheap cylinder heads there's a company based in Texas that sells rebuilt heads you just have to send them your head as a core. I got my replacement head from them and it looks badass. I've been slowly putting my car back together trying to remember where everything goes after two years. Hope you get this all figured out you're the original sport back AT turbo ralliart a role model for all

Same here, it's amazing what I've forgotten in the year and half since my timing belt went and I pulled the head... Somehow, after taking great care to not lose any bolts, I can't find certain bolts...

What was the cause of this blowby?

Meanwhile, the P0133 O2 Sensor (B1 S1) popped back up. Going to replace this too, since it is reoccurring as well. Maybe this is the cause of my HORRIBLE gas mileage, and rich status when boosting.

Btw, I'm just made of money so, I'm good, no problem...

This must be quite frustrating "Truth." Hopefully you make some head way soon and everything works out. As always keep us posted.

I bored the engine my BMW .90 over from a 1.8 to 2.1 liter. The early BMW's (mine was an 82) did not have strong cylinder walls. My cylinder walls went egg shaped a few thousand miles after the engine rebuild causing excessive blow-by which created a lot of crank case pressure.

Angel at Technica Motorworks has agreed to reopen my motor and recheck his work. He agrees that something may have been missed / reassembled incorrectly. I'll be bringing it in in about two weeks. Thank God.
