You've seen how most DPO carry out repairs and mods on their cars. Some of it makes you laugh, some of it makes you cry. Unfortunately the standard MO is to cock it all up and make a ridiculous hash of everything, so this tars all mods with the same brush.

I think that's especially the case for things like engine mods where you really have to trust that the guy didn't, for example, drop the piston before installing it.

/I think I should stress, though, that the mods that bam had done to this by MRC are about as good as you can.

I thought dropping the piston was the preferred method to fit it to an oval cylinder? Because race car, innit.
