I had the same kind of experience with a local rebuilder who also had a "stellar reputation" with an O/T build. The carburetor had multiple problems and he had installed a high-volume, high pressure oil pump that completely overwhelmed the system and caused multiple problems.

My take away from all of this is to avoid guys that say they build "High Performance" engines like the plague. Restoration folks and the local NAPA machine shop are a better bet.
