Well, similar to the MOD Database, let's do one better and share the wealth of knowledge and more importantly, FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE.
I find it extremely difficult to believe that there are so many engines being built in Canada, yet there is almost NO information on them that people are willing to share DIRECTLY in terms of their individual experiences. This is a cause for not only confusion, but frustration by some considering the banter on the Internet in regards to BAD PARTS, BAD SHOPS etc. Let's hear it from the 'Horses Mouth' so to speak.
I simply want to get to the bottom of most of the CRAP.
It seems that someone ALWAYS has a friend of a friend that has killed an N1 Oil Pump - BUT NEVER THEMSELVES.
It also seems that someone has also been told of Eagle Rods failing - but never experienced it themselves.
Let's set the record straight and put the Internet Pollution to bed once and for all.
THIS IS NOT FOR JDM BUILT MOTORS - JUST CANADIAN & AMERICAN...as in, NOT BUILT in Japan.
So........
