I Got the surge tank and I have not looked back since. What ever happened to getting it done right the first time?Since he has the engine apart, he may as well get it done.I still reckon you should keep the engine, but try and get some cash back from this guy.

"Captain Retard" Member 1,417 Member For: 10y 9m Gender: Male Location: Shellharbour NSW Posted 29/04/15 10:28 AM Share Posted 29/04/15 10:28 AM Well how many production engines sh!t themselves after 6500kms?Not many.The cylinders look like they have lite scuff marks from the pistons, unless you can actually feel scoring in the cylinders I wouldn't worry about it.As Bomber said, if you have to then remove a cap and check a bearing, but expect to see wear as the engine isn't even run in yet.I wouldn't even worry about the rollers as this seems to be the norm for these engines.Listen to the people that know these engines.If they say it looks normal then that would be good enough for me.I've opened up engines that I've rebuilt myself and seen wear I wasn't expecting after a few thousand Ks but that's because an engine wears a fair amount during the run in period ,that's also why the first oil change is much sooner than regular oil changes.The engines contaminated the oil with metal etc whilst it settles in.

As I discussed with Tony Bellert this arvo and forwarded to you, he has given you some very reasonable costings to work with. Call him tomorrow and work out a plan. I'm starting to think you like the drama mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send the engine back, stop asking for advice 2. Listen to the knowledge given to you, and use it to your advantage Simple Edited 29/04/15 11:34 AM by Wilko16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocken rings ? thanks for the advise given but no more thanks as it only goes around in circles. I will sort it my self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilko16 Donating Members 1,672 Member For: 17y 2m 12d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 29/04/15 08:05 PM Share Posted 29/04/15 08:05 PM I never said you had to follow the advice... Just take it on board and use it to your advantageAll you have done, is shot every answer down...I'm a qualified diesel mechanic, and this thread has taught me so much more specific info about our great 6cyl engines, I'm always happy to learn more and more of my tradeI could tell you everything you wanted to know about a Mack or Volvo 16 litre engine... But its irrelevant to this Just step back and accept the buttload of information from this thread and the forumEvery mod I have done to my car was a long thought out process using a lot of conflicting information off this forum and the many other places it is shared.I then took it all on board and made my own decisions! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
