Mine was built by Leondre Dilbut (maybe?) and Evan (Eron?) Bradley :)

I have the exact same 2 (in reverse order)! :-) Any issues so far?

I only have 1000 km on the clock. Too soon to tell.

Had new a 16 GT350 and 17 GT350
The builders only assemble the parts already made and make sure tolerances are correct. So many that have had there engines replaced would not be fault of the builder. They all would assemble them exactly to specs from Ford.

I wonder who actually places the rings on the pistons and checks the gaps on the rings. Not having the right gap could lead to ring failure if it’s too tight or perhaps oil burning if it’s too large. The builders don’t do it and I don’t think they check it. Ring gap is very critical.

-Michael Deitch (1 of the 2 builders of WildCardFox's engine in Brett's 2018 GT350R from Post #7) was the sole builder of the engine in my car, chassis # K2498. Glad to see that Michael has had experience building engines at least from the year prior before building the mill in my car in August 2019. I purchased it in February 2020, and now after 2,828 miles and 11 months of ownership (as of this writing) I've had zero concerns or problems. So far, so good!

-Thanks to Michael for his fine work!
