Right, i got my mig for my 18th and six months later it throws a rod :'(
So ordered an engine from Nottingham. Fitted it and fired it up (sort of) missfiring on two cylinders. Got it compression tested and low pressure on two cylinders. Slept on it and decided break it.
So I started striping the engine to fit new rings, valves etc....
Removed one piston and it started rainng till yesterday. Got the other three out I have two bent rods :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
What can I do? :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
i would get a know decent engine bud with a three month warranty :o
-
What did you do with the original engine....does that have any good rods in it (might not be the right tolerance but, easy enough to check)
-
I got an engine with a warenty from megavaux but it would cost more than its worth to ship it back.

Looked at the old engine. The three rods are bent and the forth one is scattered around the road.

Sounds like you have a good case of money back plus costs.

If he sold you a dodgy lump then he should have checked it before shipping. I would expect an exchange or refund at his exspence.
-
Yep -- as it's a faulty lump it's up to the supplier to replace at his expense!
-
I'd be happy to send the engine back at his cost. But wouldn't be looking forward to taking that one out and then putting another one in again.
My old man was just talking to a local mechanic and he said to take the pistons down tomorrow and see if he has any rods going cheap.
Would replacing the rods work as long as there's no damange to the block or the bores?

From what you have described so far I think that is very unlikely! :( :(
-
I would call them, send pics etc....and insist on a replacement
-
the best thing you can do is send it back and get them to send another , i dont understand how megavaux have missed this tho :(
-
:( i have to say i had the same thing with an 02 laguna 1.9 dci , bought a short engine so had to fit all original components , turbo ect ect and belt it up ( sitting on the floor owing 2 bag , 3 yrs ago)
got it back in ! fuc-er through a rod 5 weeks later no noise nothing just pop! >:(
