Since you are in Australia I cant help you out. Im working with Tasos Moschatos, you might know him. to me the absolutely best engine builder i have ever been working with. International Warranties are difficult, but finding an agreement and shipping the engine back and doing an honest free checkup with a full transparent report would be the right way to me. If you have any issues now with your engine to fix it and you think we might be able to help you let me know. We work with a company in Australia that is purchasing build engines from us. I can send you their contact, they might be able to help you out.

Thank you Thomas for reaching out.
I agree International warranty is tricky.
My race shop is pulling the engine down today so I should hear from them once the issue is found.
Ive requested for a full report and photos etc which I will pass onto Sammy from Yabeela and will request for a resolution again.
If you could pm those details to me it would be much appreciated.

Dont know where in Aus you are but this is for Victoria, I doubt if it is any different in any other state. https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/prod...rns/chargeback

If your considering buying any performance parts from Yabeela Parts please look elsewhere.
This is what the inside of a NEW UNSTARTED Yabeela Parts Forged Long Block looks like out of the box?
Quality of workmanship is unacceptable.
Still inspecting the bottom end but have found the below issues to add to the growing list:
6. All bores filled with oil
7. 2x rod bearings scored
8. Timing chain tensioner bolt thread
From here, the block will need to be sent to a machine shop to get see if the timing chain tensioner bolt thread machined as it can’t be helicoiled.
Then check the pistons and rings to see why oil is filling the cylinders.
At this point there is so much wrong with this Yabeela engine so the heads will be sent off to be inspected to ensure valves are sealing and to check oil galleries etc.
Quick update after removing heads, tearing down and inspecting forged block.
To add to the growing list of issues with this Yabeela long block:
1. Most bolt threads required to be helicoiled due to being stripped
2. No oil pressure when cranked with no plugs
3. Oil spraying out of cylinder 5 spark plug hole
4. Debris found throughout the engine
5. All 4 oil squirters missing not fitted to the block
6. All bores filled with oil
7. 2x rod bearings scored
8. Timing chain tensioner bolt thread
This is unacceptable! You should sue them.
Whenever I knew that they had a connection with ”Dime R” it felt Suspicious for me. Know I think even their turbos are not reliable.
