Forged engine lasts 3k???

[H_D]

Never ever buy a second hand engine and trust it to work perfectly! ALWAYS open it up!
Tim what was the customers first reaction?? He probably thought you did some weird sh!t with the build!?

Yeah what ever mate I have sold plenty of second hand engines from stock to forged and not had any complaints.

What size injectors were they?

Stock injectors at 80% cycle at 1.5bar on TD04 I'd imagine isnt giving enough of a squirt.

That only says that you can be trusted Not every one can be trusted bud.

i do agree with skalabala in all my years i've never seen a perfect 2nd hand engine. 90% of them are sold because there tired or poorly built in some way. there are always exceptions, but most people after spending the money on building them take the life outta them first. they should always be checked over first with a compression and leak down test and typically put a new set of bearings in them.

The customers first reaction wasn't happy lol, obviously going to blame the builder which is why i stripped it down infront of his face and then he was happy to see it was a mapping issue.

I had a toy tuning bottom end I bought off someone local
It done 5500 road miles with a fanny driver I had it round knockhill and it was knocking its brains due to shit build quality !!! Within 3 laps !!!

not really hard evidence of a bad rebuild, seeing as u only bought the bottom end who knows what had been done or got in there, also it was knocking its tits of round a race track which sounds to me more like an oil starvation issue more than anything, there are just to many variables to say it was a shit rebuild.

well it is toytuning we are talking about so more than likely was a bad engine in the first place lol. i totally agree on 2nd hand i would never buy a recon/2nd hand engine.

first off toytuning never built the engines he was just the middle man, secondly (god rest his sole) tmd/dave burwash engines werent the pinnacle of reliabilty either, and im pretty certain there has been other traders on here or uksc who have had there fair share of unfortunate engine mis-haps that havnt made it onto the forums.

i will also re-iterate that if an engine has lasted 3000 miles before letting go, it isnt gonna be due to bad workmanship, especially an engine thats gonna get cunted around. most engine failures are down to poor tuning, and/or oil starvation.

can't comment on toytuning as i didn't have my glanza when they were about but the middleman they did use was very close to me and i've seen my fair share of there work. Its shocking

I do agree that thought if an engine is going to blow up it'll happen way before the 3k mark. But if things haven't been balanced properly, or clearanced properly and then had a hard life then certainly you can start to get piston sealing issues and bearing issues that didn't show up initially.
