Hi all
just a quick update on my Engine replacement
I now have 1500 Miles on the replacement - so nicely run in
I'm sure it feels moe powerful - no data (yet...) to back it up
I did run the previous car on a Vmax day down the runway with Vbox data logging - will do the same again soon so will be able to provide a sort of A/B
FYI the serial number data from the garage that fitted it
MA175
G01293

No photos. They showed them to me, but I didn't ask if I can get them. Photos looked pretty bad.
I hope PAG knows what they are doing and hope it will resolve the issue. Maybe all the wear was in the top end. I'm not a motor specialist.
I bought 2 more years of warranty, so it's backed up until the end of 2018 now.

I had an engine rebuild. Wanted the g engine. But happy to get it back. Drives the same as far as I can tell but enjoy it more. For some reason I am appreciative of the car despite the engine issues, is pushed so far to the edge of mechanical engineering. So for me I just drive and rev it up.
I know you are disappointed. But it will pass. Importantly don't let it take away not a minute of your driving pleasure.

Great.
Did you also have a whole top end replacement?
Did engine need a break-in after? How long, if yes?
Is oil filter mount a part of top end? If so, did they install a top end with new bigger oil filter mount?
