| So much as its an issue that this motor requires exacting tolerances. The number of people who experience catastrophic failure is fairly reasonable. very few people suffer the kinds of things that occur when you push your motor hard. The issue is that motors built by anyone but nissan seem to have a scarily high chance a bearing spinning within 5k miles, or some other "minor" catastrophe. I believe it is just that the engine is extremely sensitive and many places do not realize how important ultra strict adherance to every tolerance really is. While this is obviously the fault of the engine builders, I think the point of this post is just to get an idea what are you chances of creating a major headache for yourself not so far down the line by having a vg30dett rebuilt. I have no idea, im not an engine builder, but it seems like a frightening number of rebuilds end in tragedy that is not the result of aggressive use or corner cutting so much as the rebuild just not holding up. For all I know maybe the tolerances needed for the engine to hold up are beyond the capabilities of typical equipment? Maybe engines are getting built using the wrong specs? Maybe the official specs are off, or too leniant? I don't have any answers, but i definitely have seen a trend that even getting your engine build by the most reputable experienced shop still leaves you open to the very real posibility your expensive engine will pop very quickly. I don't even think its reall logevity we are talking about because im starting to think if it last 10k, it was built right and will make it to 200k.
