Sons 4.2 GU that shit itself after 27000 Kay's update , when the engine reco mob pulled it down further they discovered original pistons , sleeves had been installed with a hammer , no3 had the rings spinning in the bore .
Brand new injector pump was installed out of timing , mind you the receipt clearly shows these parts as replaced including the brass welsh plugs that were orig steel ones .
Only reason my son bought it was the rebuild with receipts , as the engine rebuilder has said not his problem my son is getting a report done and keeping all parts replaced for a possible court action when it's all finished .
So beware don't go by rebuild invoice / receipts if you get a car done by this mob .
Forgot the head is shagged and has to be replaced mostly because of work done by recondition job .
I'd be getting them to pay for a new motor and the labour to install it again at a mechanic you trust

I gather this pull down is a different reco mob. If you have the reciepts it should be an easy task to take to court. If the reciept says something was done and it wasn't then they have to front up. Not sure how you go witrh the consequential damage to the head though. Who commissioned the original recon?. The reciepts may be for another motor. Anyway good luck with it.

Reciepts include engine number , numerous parts not replaced were easily identified by our engine reco shop and our mechanic , our mechanic is shocked at the level of shoddy work and sheer incompetence and has spoken to original workshop .
Our engine reco guys can't get over the hammer marks on the sleeves and lack of parts supposedly replaced and botch job done on the head .
Their mistake was supplying a detailed receipt with engine No , noticed the injector pump was over a grand dearer than OEM , also the injectors are old orig and some need replacing was also on list .
When I get the full report would love to name and shame the barstards .
