Can you elaborate on the reliability upgrades in the engine?

Thank you..
The engine has resleeved cylinders, new stock pistons, new rings, valves, springs. Rod bolts, LN engineering IMS solution... It is a great, strong running motor.

Flat 6 Innovations built the engine?

Who's name was on the invoice, and the FSI Serial number? This one doesn't match my records?

The engine has been confirmed as one of ours. No worries.

Lots of fakes out there, so I question every one that isn't sold by a direct purchaser of the engine :-)

Thanks Jake. My apologies for using your name without first checking/confirming with you that it was ok. I understand there are a lot of scammers out there.
