I like how companies coming directly from overseas can produce products like this. But is the metal really to spec as they say it is?

We order exhausts and rods and whatnot from China, yet they say they are Stainless Steal 30* or whatever it is, but what we get is some crappy piping coated in chrome paint hahaha, but whatever! welds are good and it works well for 1/4 the price, even less in some cases

Same thing applies to the rods we get. They are forged and hold past 600hp, weigh the same as competitors rod and are built to spec. They work! and work well! but are only a fraction of the cost compared to the ones on the market. And I do mean a fraction....

These engines are only worth $50 at junkyards ($250 used from some place reputable), why the need to pay $1000+ for internals? amiright?

Not saying more choices are bad, but jesus H, its an econobox for a reason.
