Remans are a sad story and are rebuild in another facitlity. Its the ongoing reputation of the part manufactoring you have to look at. When was the last time you orderd a new baring and it was out of spec? Hmm probably never!

In college and university they teach to check brand new parts, because parts are produced with a broad tolerance range, and it's up to the installer to spec and modify as needed/if needed.



What on earth should I tell them?

So that’s what you learned in school.



Some conspiracy theory you have there. Brilliant lets produce parts that are manufactured out of tolerance ranges and ignore the fact that well it’s also ILLEGAL. Brilliant philosophy you have there.

BMW recalled every 2001 M3 because the crank bearings were out of spec.







Surprisingly they are still in business and not all under arrest for selling illegal out of spec parts.





Maybe this is only the law in the backwoods of Florida?

Ice,

We have had our disagreements before on another site. I really think you should mature a little and realize that maybe you don't know everthing. Some of these guys have built motors for a long time and are quite good. You seem to have a bit of an attitude that if you can't get a motor out and rebuild it in a day you suck. No offense but you sound like a child.



I thought this was a great post. It's neat to see how some people look at building engines. It takes me several weeks to clean and spec all the parts but I do it in my free time after I have spent time w/ the family.



It takes about 3 hours to finish off the keg start to finish. Granted I have only built 12 motors on my own. I may not be the fastest but it sure is fun.

Thats was the point. If that happens they have to do just that. By law!



rotaryinspired - negative look at it the other way around thats how I see it.

HUNDREDS of motors and not one out of spec part?

No wonder you have such loyal customers!

ColinRX7

Conspiracy theory that I have?



You mean goverment approved and institutionalized "conspiracy theory", kid.



Is there anything else you'd like me to type up straight out of a government standard approved textbook that falls under the heading "rookie mistakes"? Or shouldn't you have these same textbooks that I have? Rotary mechanic, metal fabricator, electrical wiring, restoration master, mechanical & fluid engineer. That's an awful lot of credentials, and review, and homework, and term tests on the exact same material that I've had to learn. Did you just not read that chapter yet? That one about building engines?



I hate to say it, but you're posts sound like your credentials are straight out of a cereal box.



That or you're just not quite on the same chapter of the book as the rest of us.

thanks! you know, its not how long it SHOULD take, its how long does it take. i take my time and for the most part enjoy building, and it seems to take about 6 hours. add another 8-10 and its running in the car, can it be done in a weekend? yes. do i like doing it that fast? no, i dont like to rush.
