When my oem block started letting go I wanted to get a closed deck block but no one in Perth at the time seemed interested ( or capable of doing it ) I believe there are a couple of places in Perth who will now do cdb to a good standard.
When my short motor arrived from interstate, the box it was in looked like it had been kicked all the way round the block and back. I was unimpressed to say the least.
The motor is chattery (because of big clearances I am told) but seems to be holding up ok for now. It uses no oil except at the track where it will push a bit into the catch can.
Long story short is when I ring the engine builder he is says it will be fine mate, just enjoy it.
But if it goes tits up after a couple more thousand kms what am I going to do? Ship it back to Queensland... Not likely
Anyway each to their own, but I would never do it that way again.
