Yeah looks off centre to me mate.

Brunswick finally got back to me about the mount. yes, its splayed a bit 'but not as bad as they have seen in the past' - like how is that level of engineering comment to put a client at ease? - 'just loosen the 4 mount bolts and the centre bolt? and jack the motor up to let the mount move back into alignment' - I think this is another job for the mechanics since they have the car on the hoist - bloody astounding. ' "oh, and we are here to support you Phil, just ring if you need help'!!!

Lol. Not as bad as they've seen it. Wow.

Head gaskets blown on both banks, no 4 and 5 cylinders, 8 bent pushrods. Brunswick swap the head over on brand new turbo motors to change the inlet manifold port alignment, or so they say, so they are the ones who jinked with the head gaskets to begin with, not happy.

Blame game zone Darren. They have tried to shift blame onto my swapping out the timing chain for gears, then the key in the camshaft has failed and you need to strip the front of the engine down to repair it. I will put my trust in professional engine rebuilders and competent mechanics any day above these guys. Really disappointed but what do you do? Keep hearing 'we are here to help', but really, wish you had not put a finger on this motor. I don't expect any support as the motor is out of time warranty, being 3 yrs, despite having only done 10,600klm. I will call them tomorrow and raise some concerns but it won't go anywhere. What would not surprise me is that they reuse the 'torque to yield' head bolts that are originally fitted to the motor after they swap the heads over to suit the n/a manifold. Would not surprise me one bit.

Are the 8 bent push rods all of one cycle? Like all the exhaust or all of the inlet or just one of the banks complet 8 push rods is bent?

Matt, the two worst are on the exhaust valves of 4 and 5, followed by minor bends mostly on the drivers side bank. i cant be too specific due to not taking enough attention as the bits were extracted. There was only the exhaust valve pushrod on the pass side cylinder which is either 4 or 5, the rest appeared ok to the eye/roll across the table top.bent 2.JPGbent 1.JPGrocker.JPG

That sucks, Phil. a lot of hard work and dough wasted. I really hope they help you out after all you've been through.

Simply should not be the journey .This has been a nightmare from start to now, and its continuing.
