Default Is that not what you are paying for?

madmaxx Max to have an Aluminium motor built, by a PRO motor builder is that not what we pay for? The other side of the coin is that most people jump in there cars aluminium motor and with a cold motor, cold oil and fly down the road. BIG NO-NO. My rod and main bearing clearances are under .002. for my motors. Like to thank the Goverment for all the smart thinking and removing Zinc and other elements from the oil. I also have a preoiling in my car to stop dry starts. This is way you pay TOP dollar and FE builders, the better ones cost more that others. A total build from start to finish do EVERY thing is 80-100 hours with a 1 hour breakin time. Anyone doing this operation in 30-40 hours is CUTTING corners and not double checking the work. Rick L
