he wont be helping me out at all made that very obvious,I ended up with a clutch,the 26 head,rods and pistons,balancer,and my engine was sold to me as new,only started twice,built by a well known sydney engine shop,good for 450 + kw,
they also drilled into the head stud,and caught the oil drain also,was only that i pulled the sump off and found metal all through the thing that i got my tuner/builder over to check it out,
they damaged the stud but re fitted it upside down,and it appears they were made up from hi tensile bolts ! same thread pitch on both ends,cut not rolled...
the holes werent relieved on the deck and on every stud hole the deck had burred up,the rhr stud hole had been heli coiled and drilled at an angle so the stud leaned in towards the bore,
deck is cracked from one of the coolant holes about 10 or so mm, also when he/they fitted the os giken clutch the std flywheel bolts were shortend as per normal but no chamfer on threads,crossed or pulled the thread from the
crank, so now makes an effective door stop.
just careless stupid things that ruined the whole engine,it has a moroso external oil pump fitted which is full of metal from the engine also,...the list goes on ...
when approached about helping me to get a new block sorted ,he then claimed that he was only the half owner and i should contact his mate and try for the money ..no response at all.
I let him know about the metal the day after they delivered it to me, "its only normal run in stuff " "it was sitting for while with the turbo drain exposed,must of got in there !! " he said...
i sent photos of all the damage and a list 4 pages long of problems that my engine builder wrote out upon inspection of the motor..theres more to it but ive hijacked your thread plenty already ...
