<div class="PlainText">Yes, learn from all the things I learned the hard way! The thing is that<br>
people often throw and old cheaply built engine in there and it seems to run<br>
great, but it only lasts 30Kmi if that and the costs of rebuilding a T4 are<br>
astronomical now, iF you can get the parts. You never hear the END story<br>
when the engine quits 3 years later.<br>
<br>
Jake Raby does T4 for a living and KNOWS all the pitfalls, he doesn't know<br>
everything especially T3 related but there is a lot to learn and a lot of it<br>
I had to learn independently.<br>
<br>
For instance, my lifters never rotated in the bore, WHY? Nobody knows!<br>
Standard solid lifters, no case problems matched new lifters and cam....<br>
They didn't lunch but they wouldn't have lasted all that long... new cam and<br>
lifters $500!<br>
<br>
You cant get the bearings for an align bored case anymore either... <br>
<br>
So many issues! Read thru the archives if you can, I posted on a lot of<br>
this, I had the engine in there from 2009 - 2010 or so, should be in the<br>
archives.<br>

Hey, it is always nice to hear the dissenting opinion. If you only hear the<br>
good stuff you get blind to the bad stuff you should be looking out for. You<br>
just inspired me to keep an eye on things I never even considered. That I<br>
appreciate. <br>
<br>
I still can't wait to have the looks of a square with the power of a type 4.<br>
I don't want to peel out, but I do want to keep up the hills. <br>
