<div class="PlainText">Ya know, unless your time is worth nearly nothing, the only way to build a<br>
motor at that price is use cheap parts and cut corners, and in today's world<br>
Cheap parts are really to be avoided.<br>
<br>
Heck, just the cost of a good align bore, crank turning or replacement, rod<br>
rebushing, head work... today's Mahle jugs are now Chinese so they are junk<br>
meaning you need to have your old jugs bored and pistons fit...<br>
<br>
I cant count the number of times ive seen problems with cheaply build T3<br>
engines, and in the T4 world, with real HP, the problem is 10 times worse<br>
and 10 times more expensive.<br>
