Rebuild is the key word. Rebuilt with parts out of the scrap pails

Well then that's pretty good it lasted 4k miles.

 

[BOOST N]

4k is what they said
the ring end gap was only enough to get a piece of paper folded in half in the gap

Budget Build for sure

Who sold it?

Car was bought from an individual in North Texas who did name a well known crappy builder.
I find it hard to believe even he assembled this turd, he left the country years ago so not worth mentioning names.

Not to mention they look like there would probably be a decent weight difference as well. I bet it had a noticable vibration.

My machinist pretty much insisted on balancing mine. After seeing how bad it was out, I'm sure glad I did.

You know, In Cuba, building a motor with miss matched parts is totally acceptable
