This is a warning to anybody who is considering using them !
I had a fully built 9A of them , fitted it , run everything in properly and 1500 miles down the line i had the worst knocking you have heard ,
Basically i removed the sump and found that the shell on No3 had fallen to bits , my oil looked like glitter and there were even large pieces of the shell in the bottom of my sump.
Between myself and two friends they have f**ked up 4 engines , for the following cases of bad workmanship:
No1: they painted the inside of the sump , the paint blocked the oil pump.
No2: they used 8v crank bearings in a 16v and they fell to bits causing the crank to move sidways.
No3:they painted the inside of the dipstick tube , the paint blocked the crank oil way and dertroyed the shell.
No4: they used std fitment shells on a reground crank . . . . you get the picture !
And this is just with in my circle of friends , i hate to think how many of these "cowboy" builds other people have had problems with.
4 for crying out loud ! :x :x
They are completly incapable of building an engine correctly if there lives depended on it !
When approached about the problems they just make up poo excuses and try and fob you off , quite possibly the most unhelpful , useless tuning company in the land !
And breath . . . . . . do yourselves a favour
Do not use TSR !
