Hey guys i was curious if there are any major things to watch out for when looking at a 350x with a rebuilt motor? He claims only 6 hours, and he has receipts. I also know the builder (he does great work) and plan to give him a call in the morning to rattle his brain.
Anyway are there certain issues that can come from a rebuild that i would be able to detect prior to purchase? I'm mainly thinking issues with the break in period. It's supposed to have a stage 2 cam, with a new piston, and all new bottom end bearings. I'd hate to buy a grenade with the pin laying in the guys driveway. I know the usual silicon issues and what not and i realize its impossible to know whats inside the motor. Any little info would be greatly appreciated. My last 350x purchase was a low hour original and the one before that was an all out nightmare once i got it home, TC...
