[QUOTE="james_stan, post: 644456, member: 1088"] I read the story , there will have been limitations and exclusions to the warranty I'm sure.. The speculation by mechanoid doesn't sound unreasonable.. but sizing bearings correctly and setting endfloat is about as fundamental as it gets when building an engine.. It would be interesting to see the big end on teh snapped rod. If the camshaft had snapped first that would have thrown out the valve timig and caused top end damage I'd have throught.. Ancilliary assembly is important too. Working cooling system and new, clean oil cooler is important. an old cooler can harbour bad **** man. Saying that it looks like an occasion where at least some refund is due. [/QUOTE]
