all im saying, is that there is no way that the only way to get ur engine built to a high enough standard, is to go to the US or japan

it can be done here, its more difficult yes, but i refuse to believe that ther is NO ONE in the country qaulified or capable of doing it

sure i didnt put it in the best possible way, i just re-phrased ben's post, if he can generalise, then i can make a sarcastic reply

bau, do u seriously think u can learn and actually build an engine better than all others in australia?

its that kind of attitude that i dont get, y do u guys have such little confidence in the local workshops?

of course u have to be extremly suspicous and careful, but that doesnt mean u dismiss the whole local industry as useless and inferior

im sure ther are heaps of ppl that are very satisfied with local work, honda engines, nissans, holdens, fords, etc

all we hear about is the ones that go wrong.....just try to be more open, thats all

fair enough, youre entitled to your opinion - if youre agreeing with ben then i agree with you, haha.

i think what bludger was getting at had more to do with patience and time - if you build an engine yourself you might be more willing to go at a slower pace, and take a very long time to build it, compared to a professional builder who needs to turn over stock to make ends meet.

of course there will be times when the pro's experience will mean he makes a better product, but equally there might be times where your patience means something doesnt get overlooked, or a few more clearances are checked, or whatever
