The fact is Chinese parts are here.. I fought long and hard to keep them away from the TIV for as long as possible and we held them off for 5+ years.
The issue with Chinese made parts is the QC level. The main problem is the guys that are making engine parts there don't use them and don't build engines with them so they have no first hand experience with how well they work. The key to having parts made in China is to deal with a company that will work with you on QC levels and make sure that each and every part is inspected and measured, assume nothing. The Chinese are ruthless bastards- if you send back parts that don't meet your tolerances they'll just sell them to your competitor cheaper and he usually won't care if they are junk or not! Lots of "Backdoor" parts come from China and most end up on Ebay. Most of my engines and engine kits only have a single Chinese part in their composition and thats the connecting rods.. I still offer a "Made in USA" engine with all aftermarket parts being made from US based materials in US factories, but it does cost more. In short I have used the Chinese to make rapid prototypes for test purposes and to make some "bling" accessories that have no real function.. Recently we sent one of our lower buck exhaust systems there for the 356 conversion to see if it could be made cheaper and still function as well on a 140 HP engine, I'll know soon. Like I said, the parts are here so instead of fighting the bastards we decided to make the best of it and try to make them meet our tolerances, most of the time that requires a full rebuild of the part |
