Posted 22/12/10 08:41 AM Share Posted 22/12/10 08:41 AM I feel sorry for you mate this is not good at all.As for bent rod they will knock before the bearing stuffs up as it tries to turn the piston over in the bore and also hits the side of the bore.I would be on there door step tomorrow demanding they fix your motor and tune it right or tell them you are going to consumer affairs about it.and than aca or today tonight.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know the bottom end is rooted, what would you reckon the best thing for me to do, should I go and buy a fg f6 bottom end, I got quoted 2700 dollars for it. I will install it myself to safe some cash that's one option, or should I do a rebuild on my current motor, install spool rods, cp pistons, and all the other parts needed for the rebuild. Now one thing im not sure of is how much the build motor will set me back, has any one done something similar how much did it cost in parts?thanks for all your replys guys an I really appreciate your input on this topicthanksmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a 4 speed... Just go the FG F6 bottom end... You'll have to do a bit of modification to the sump I think... But the bottom end will hold more power than the 4 speed ever will (with a decent tune that is!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is BS, seriously dump the car there, make the pricks fix it, properly this time, threaten to take further action if they don't comply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
