Blown apex on new Atkins motor?
Here's a nice 10th anny for sale, but I don't get why the apex seal has blown on a new Atkins. I've heard of aftermarket apex seals breaking easily so I'm a little worried looking at this one.
At the same time, it could be poor tuning since he had a Haltech installed. Who knows.

Good question, 4000 miles on an Atkins engine. They have a 24 month warrantee if you follow their preparations and engine maintenance? I bought one a couple of years ago did everything they said and it runs fine. The only problem I ran into is the low compression on new apex seals giving me a heart attack until someone filled me in. Made it hard to resart until I put some miles on it to break it in. Wondering if the guy screwed up during the break in???

Yo,
Do a search under "Tboost", that is his forum name. I've seen his car, it's very clean!
I hope he gets lots of money! Go Tee!
