So im getting really pissed of with myself for some reason, There are multiple Skylines im looking a few with engine rebuilds some with factory engine Still in place.

Just wondering if i can get some experienced Answers on whats better, Ive heard once an engine has been opened problems start to occur more than a factory.

I really just dont want to spend 10-13k and get a lemon

I can't see why an engine would begin to run into issues more if it has been opened up. If the work is done properly there is nothing that should really go wrong. Obviously if the work is dodgy you'll run into issues, that's where word of mouth comes in. Use a workshop with a good reputation. If you're asking this question I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you're not competent enough to rebuild it yourself, so don't risk it. If you want to learn there's no harm in hanging around and giving a hand while they do the work ;)

I know it's a simpler engine, but I rebuild my dirt bikes all the time and because I know what I'm doing I don't have issues. There wouldn't be engine builders out there if engines were known for failing after being worked on.

      More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.

      I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.

      Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.

      That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
