Guess What I found when my engine was dismantled!!!!!!

i think it depends upon the kind of rebuild that was done at hurleys. If i am honest, and I had paid top dollar for a top dollar rebuild then i might be unhappy with those findings.
Consider, for a second, that you pay £2000+ for a rebuild including New housings, a new rotor, new apex seals and gaskets. The only thing remaining that is second hand is the irons.
Personally i would not want to pay that sort of money for parts \'modified\' to fit, (some might say this modification may affect the longevity of the engine) and I would question why these parts were used instead of originals.
 On the other hand, if it was done cheaply, then 40000 miles from that engine using said \'modified\' parts, you really cant complain!

for £2k you would get a very basic rebuild with all second hand parts exluding the seals and springs, I would estimate over 3k even 4K if you want new rotors with certain tuners!  

Carl,
I thought only very late FD rotors were clearenced the early ones are the same as FC,  seven years ago you wouldnt have been able to get hold of late FD rotors.

as kev mentioned, can you confirm what was welded and where?

[dubber91]

not the sort of rebuilds i get done anyways, thats a mere formallity, the point persists, top dollar rebuilds should not end up with modified parts and second hand parts.

who said it was a top dollar rebuild?

[dubber91]

not me. Im just saying: you get what you pay for. If I paid top dollar i wouldnt want to find that upon rebuild.
If i paid £124.65 and a packet of chewing gum, then you cant really complain can you?

very true,   unfortunately as people on here have recently found out, these practices are still going on though

Hi Tony,
FD rotors have been clearanced from day one,it was one of the minor changes over the FC engine.
I do know that during rebuilds some have put turbo 2 rotors into FD engines though.

Just for info (not sure it\'s really relevant), I paid the \'going rate\' at the time for the rebuild - I don\'t believe it was a \'cheap\' deal.

I wish I\'d taken my camera at the weekend (didn\'t even take my phone with me).  If I have an opportunity I may try to get some snaps next week if the company who are rebuilding have no objections.  No guarantees.

[dubber91]

right. Get some pics mateo. I am intrigued about your findings
