TII rebuild
jesus ******* christ....
do all the rebuilders have to get into it when it comes to rebuilds?
for those who have the extra cash the peace of mind in having everything replaced is perfectly fine. on the flip side MANY rebuilders have built engines for a bit less than $2k in labor and parts and have VERY few failures. i for one speak with the cheaper rebuilders in that reusing parts is fine but if a customer has the extra cash i have absolutely no problem throwing new rotor housings, OEM seals and new bearings in.
what is the final deliberation? both rebuilders are right! but not every customer has $3500 for a "new" engine and used parts get the job done still.
the thing that gets me though is builders who say engines MUST use new housings, lap the irons and get all new bearings. that is FALSE because many rebuilders reuse those parts on a daily basis and their engines are on the road pushing it every day for years and years.

Bottom line business code of ethics you work under.
Mine is - OEM only complete & 3 window bearings, new housings, lapped irons, studs, treatments, personal custom port work unless largely specified, oil pump, water pump, cleaned injectors and coolers, new PD. No if ands or buts no other options accepted!
