Must google it
Tony
I had an SMR engine via this outfit![]()
(nee MDKL
-
they keep trading under different names to get round the law)
and they're just plain wrong.
They just stuff any old head on any old block
(regardless of model year and whether it's a Legacy/WRX/STi) and mail order it out on a pallette.

My HG went after a year and when ZENopened it up, the heads were held on with dowels and twine!!!!!!!

(ZEN couldn't believe how it lasted even a year!)
Go figure..
.I'm now the happy owner of a proper ZEN-built motor.
Do it RIGHT!..
.
do it ONCE!
(I leant this the the hard way
)
Right-o,dont think i'll be going anywhere near them.
Thanks guys.
Buy cheap, buy twice I say! Don't use them whatever you do, complete rip off merchants.I've had a few people come to me after getting duff engines from them
(whatever they call themselves).

As per that thread, old engines sprayed silver do not constitute a rebuilt motor, i doubt they even take the plugs out let alone strip the engine down.

No they definetly dont.I had to remove the old plugs and injectors as they were covered in Spray paint

Sorry to hear you have been bitten by SMR.You really should have asked before buying from then but the phrase horse bolted door etc springs to mind.
SMR are a bunch of cowboys and they have a 6months from date of purchase and a 500 mile warrantyperiod but they will only cover the cost of their engine not the fitting you have had to fork out.
They keep getting away with it though as people dont follow up and claim you will get your money back but without going small claims you wont get your fitting.
