Question raised about a "normal" 280 rebuild

[Jay Smith]

This question was raised on another forum , my reply was as follows:

When I agree to do a rebuild on a customer's 280 it consists of all new rings attached to top pinned pistons ( Wizard being my choice ) New high performance bearings (ALL of them), new seals , "O" rings, oil check valving , TDR reed valves and injectors cleaned and flowed at Brucato's.I make sure the bores are within 1/2 thou. of being perfectly ROUND if not I CAN alter an egged shaped bore to make it round. I hone the nicom bores with a special ceramic hone and finish the bore with a plateau brush for a micro finish. I set all the parameters of the TPI as well as the fuel curves on the fuel management systems to compliment the owners geographic location After the rebuild I run at least 3-5 gallons of fuel through the engine at my shop BEFORE the engine is shipped back. Motor is cleaned , shrink wrapped and shipped back in wooden crate with the 2 base gaskets furnished as well as flow sheet from injectors , complete break - in instructions as well as detailed invoice..

All JSRE rebuild customers are WELCOME to come and witness any and all aspects of the tear down , mods, as well as assembly of their engines and customers may witness, as well as ask questions, take pictures as well as bring one guest to the procedure..

Peace,
Jay
