No the head wasn't built and the head wasn't even my original we found out so we are thinking that was the problem. We will find on in the next few days to week.

UPDATE:
After like two years since my stock motor blew and another year since the built motor was dropped in, I finally got the built motor pulled out. I will begin to remove tranny and some other parts tomorrow or rather today now.lol
Things like the stage 5 Comp Clutch and Comp Clutch Flywheel will go up for sale. Soon to follow will be tapped oil pan, powder coated valve cover, ARP Head Studs, Built block, Head (maybe minus interals), and a bunch of other misc parts.
This post was truly about my journey and now I have more important things in life. Don't get me wrong I love my 08 tC but my soon to be wife and now soon to be child are my life. Although my soon to be wife wants me to turbo my 08 tC.
More to come tomorrow...

It will all be available. If I get turbo'd again it will be after baby is born and I have some extra cash.
UPDATE:
Pulled most of the motor apart today. Looks like I found the problem with the oil pressure. I swear it's the smallest things. It looks to have been some lube that someone had put in the wrong spot and was clogging spots of the oil channels and other areas. We are still looking for what may have caused the stalling when stepping on the clutch. One thing was said that maybe the timing was off but not sure. So far the motor looks fine so thats a relief.
