I am about to head overseas for a deployment, and while I am gone, I’m gonna buy a new engine. I would like to send my old B5 to you to get rebuilt, as well as get my new engine broken in. I’ll send you more info on what I would like done, once I send them. But was just curious, if I send you an old engine like I am, will you recommend new parts if something is so messed up as well as replace them? Or is that outside of your scope of service. For example, if my piston is just shot, will you typically get a new one and add it to the cost of the service, or just tell the person it’s shot, and have to send it back? Just curious. Like I said, I would like a total engine rebuild for my B5, but didn’t know if you would actually do something like that. Thanks again for your engine services, love them!!

Thanks so much for the feedback! None of my mods harm reliability or tuning ( unless a custom extreme situation where I am advised its not an issue and they owner want to sacrifice that for performance ) Mods have gotten a bad name over the years but if you do it right they are awesome and can add a ton of power ( or even change the powerband to better fit a drivers needs ) and gain mileage without hurting anything. So its always nice to hear customers experiences.
Yes If it needs new parts that's not a problem. And yes we always inspect the engines that way we can advise on what to do. Sometimes on old engines its not worth rebuilding it because of the replacement parts cost and I will be honest and let customers know that as well. We resize piston/sleeves but if need we also can replace parts if needed, bearings, rods, cranks p/s etc... Anything with nitro engines we do, break ins, rebuilds, mods, we even work on and mod rc boat, plane, tether car engines etc...
Thanks again and whenever you are ready send it in an well get it dialed in for you.
