Default Re: 26 Tmotor

Quick update on my T motor, the individual that was highly recomended has issued a full refund minus parts. and the motor is now currently at snyders in Ohio.

The rebuilder told me that he dosen't like to do nor is used to doing work for someone that complains so much. he said he couldn't understand why i was being so fussy as it's just a Tmotor. i told him it didn't matter if it was a lawn mower engine, you cant get away with cracked exhaust seats. and clearance on the mains ranging from .000 to .028 and oil supply passageways to the mains completely pluged solid with babbit scrapings, and the cam ready to fall out

After pulling the pistons out i still needed a breaker bar to turn the crank over? when i brought it back to him he wanted to know what I did to it as it was fine when delivered?

After some discussion he came to the conclusion that his boring bar is worn out and time for new bushings and cutters, i think some of these shoddy rebuilders out there rely on many customers not knowing what there looking at, and only driving there car a couple hundred miles a year. and at that rate could take a decade to rear it's ugly head.
