i think he refers to my post. Its official that the builders in oz ( for honda motors) do not have the experience and knowledge that some US or JDM builders have. Not that we cant be that good , it takes more and more effort + experience. Just that i personally would not trust anyone in this country to "rebuild" any engine i owned.
I disagree with u ben, theres alot of good builders in aus. You'll find that many of the problems stem from the reluctance of customers wanting to pay for quality parts and reusing 2nd hand parts
That said, all the motors i have ever built for street cars have never had a problem that was caused by a build error, my customers understand that building a good engine requires certain things, and if they dont, i simply dont take on the job.

2 things
1. any engine?? u mean u wouldnt trust an oz engine workshop to rebuild an oz engine either?
2. so u know and have experience with every workshop in the country?lol
i think ur being a little unfair...watever bad experiences u and others may have had with local workshops, im sure ther are lots of other happy and satisfied customers that have had their work done at other workshops

I agree with Benn
imo, i would learn how to do it and do it myself
lol
guys this is venturing off topic ~ my point is that other countries have more workshops and more experience than here in Oz. Problem is i have "heard" much more bad experiences than good ones stemming from local builders. This includes performance workshops and normal honda mechanics alike.
I would not let anyone in Australia rebuild my engine. Thats just my opinion so dont take it hot to heart. There are many good mechanics around Oz but unfortunately the minority ruin it for the rest of us.
so uve tried every engine builder in the country as well have u? lol
learn how to do it?
lol
ull need a couple of degrees and a few decades of workshop experience and 3million dowlar worth of equipment
man you are being kinda silly. of course he hasnt tried every builder in the country. its like me saying 'man that was the best pizza ever'. i havent eaten every pizza ever. and just like i have done with the pizza, the people here have taken there experience with a variety of local builders and extrapolated.
the simple fact is there isnt the same market in australia as there is in america or japan. smaller market means less competition, means less incentive to improve quality and/or drop prices. our market is not as competitive or as developed, so not only do firms not have the incentive, they often dont have the experience. there are places in america that would churn out 5X the output of the builders here, simply because thats the volume thats demanded in other countries.
