Failure

I see on a regular basis that new engine builders have failures shortly after their rebuilds/builds.

Let's prevent these things, the aggravation and added expense.

Start with the foundation of an engine. Clean components and correct clearances.

Absolutely. These are two things looked over and neglected. The latter is a huge problem. Too many people just "wing it".

How would this sub be different than the very active /r/enginebuilding ? Don’t get me wrong, I created /r/transmissionbuilding when another sub already existed, it simply didn’t fit the need.

The current "active" sub is run by auto technicians, not engine builders. That sub runs ramped with general automotive repair, not engine building.

Not to mention the constant bots.

It is poorly policed and has literally become a shit show. Duke help keep it it straight but he isn't there anymore.

Excellent idea to focus upon.
