Speed 6 engines sortted, my ar*e

[plug]

I had the engine rebuilt on my cerb at the end of last year due to worn cam followers, the car had covered 18,000 miles. The car went in for its service and mot couple of weeks ago, just got a phone call from the dealer to let me know that some of the followers have "gone soft" and I now need another rebuild after only doing about 6000 miles. I checked the oil weekly and never over reved it so I don't understand why they haven't lasted.

The top half of my engine was rebuilt last time but the whole engine has to be cleaned inside so no metal particals can damage the rest of the engine. The first time the followers went I noticed a tapping noise frome the engine, this time the dealer picked up the fault when it was in for a service, an exhaust valve was not closing fully I think.

Its a bit of a lottery if and when one might fail. Mine cost £4800.00 at the end of last year including some other minor work needed.
