[T3] There will be a 4th build

[Keith Park]

I should have absolutely bored out the original jugs, Im surprised Jake
didnt recommend that way back, yea, he was getting out of the kids shortly
after I got mine, he couldnt source quality parts anymore and didnt need the
headache.

 When I first read this, I thought it said, "will there be a 4th build"? 
 You probably should have bored the original 2.0L cylinders from the get 
go, or at least for this build. Sometimes used parts are OK, but then 
other times not. The Chinese connection is partly why Jake starting 
getting out of T-4s years ago.No quality control. Like Hal said, the t-1/t-3

world is even worse, unless you have a supply stock of OEM parts.Bob 65

2056 is coming out of the Square again, but this time there is no stock
engine to put back in!
After talking with the Kit designer Jake Raby, Im going to bore out the
original 2L 94mm jugs to 96 and use those with new KB pistons, and have the
shop fit them carefully, last round I just put the pistons in the Jugs, set
the rings and was done with it but the Stubby little offsetless KB's are
VERY sensitive to clearance and Jake hates the quality of the AA's cast as
well as the poor quality control of their boring so they are probably the
issue here.  The good news is that the lower end is perfect, excellent oil
pressure and no starvation, still a bit worried about the valve lifters as
nobody could figure out why the last set didn't rotate but the adjustment
has held fine in the past 10Kmi so they are probably OK.

 

So once again.  Sigh!!!  Cheap parts are really a problem out there!

 

I keep hearing this voice, STOCK..  Come BACK to the light..  But im afraid
that my accelerator pedal would never feel same again!
