New crate motor woes

You would think so - I have discussed Crate Engine problems on several boards and have had a lot of negative feed back. Many feel that all crate motors should be torn down and reassembled prior to installation. Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware of the issue before purchasing one.


In my opinion that defeats part of the reason why you buy a crate engine. Why buy a crate engine when you have to go through all the trouble of tearing it down and double checking their work?
