'a' I need an engine and 'b' my mechanic said we can have a look before we fit and if you pay by c.c you stand a good chance if they are dodgy.Well the engine arrives not very well packed according to my engineers, and the use a boroscope/endoprobe to
look inside the cylinders and see carbon rings in the cylinders etc.The whole engine has been re-sprayed which is a common bluff for a recon engine.
both myself and my engineers spoke to
'ideal' and they basically said return for a refund as someone else will buy the engine or return it. If I strip it I will void the warrantty and will not be able to return the engine so a strip and report is out of the question.I don't want to start a thread about dodgy dealers but I need an engine sooner rather than later.
The way I look at it is I have just paid too much for a second hand engine or bought a cheap recon.My gut feeling was to f**k them off in the first place.
Now I'm in a dilemma. Stip it and see if its any good and no warrantty or fit it and chance it or send it back. Most options will cost dollar and if I get a second hand engine I will still get it looked at.
After all this it really boils down to I know nothing about mr2 turbo's which is why I'm looking for a new engine.
I bought a car, engine went a small while and then it died. PLEASE HELP.
