Fun one- Chinese engines?

From what I have learned from dealing with Chinese remanufactured parts the last 20 years is if they can’t remanufacture a water pump for a simple 2.3 liter ford that has been in production for 30 years without it failing after 25 thousand miles what can they build that will last .


Don’t even get me started on the timing belt tensioner with 20 thousand miles on it that left me stranded and cost me a $600 tow.

Than there is the hydraulic clutch slave cylinder that started leaking with in 5000 miles of replacement.

No way no how I would spend money on that.

Buy a good old seasoned block and have it properly magna fluxed and decked and Line bored and build a motor from there.

 

guy bought a super car from china

 

It's simple. If its made in China its junk! Why are Chinese parts cheap? Because they are junk? Think about items that used to be good products, but now are junk. Because they are made in China!

 

No way!!! If you live in America you can't do this. Not just because it's junk, but pay a little more to buy American.

 

Things that are chinese-manufactured have tooling problems. Meaning that things are made with inexact tolerances.

I can't imagine how terrible a Chinese block Chinese crankshaft Chinese camshaft Chinese connecting rods Chinese Pistons Chinese rings Chinese liners Chinese heads... That's got to be a colossal hunk of Chinese junk.

When you factor in the time and expense to swap engine and where that Chinese piece of crap is going to blow up and what it's going to cost you to get your truck back to your yard or a garage and put a good engine in, you do way better if you just find a good running used engine and go over it and use it and rebuild it when it's time.

 

The OP has alot to learn about life and considering buying a 25-30k cat or cummins engine as a spare but being built by china of all places for a fraction of the cost. This thread might go down as one for the history books of silliness. Oh and the vendor that sells them assures you lmao. What else would he do, not assure you and not sell the junk? lmao

 

When you uncrate it power wash the virus off it.
