Why the new engine? Warranty extension has certainly came in handy here !

Another thread about but in essence 2 new vanos systems, test drive spins a big end crank and bores scored 35k bill

Cool - just get them to trash the gearbox for a new one too and you'll have a nearly reliable car!

It's having a new clutch while it's all apart anyway. So it should be pretty reliable. Just going to get the bearings changed every 25k now!

Use high loads but dont redline it to start with for a few hundred. Then tt it.

Last engine I built got ran in on the dyno being mapped.
