Just because you use forged parts doesnt mean the engine will be more reliable. Often it becomes less reliable, and more sloppy and gives more blow-by.

That makes no sense.. So what your saying is a built engine with high quality parts is worse than a OEM engine?

Majority of OEM engines now adays are built with cost efficiveness in mind. cheapest part to get the job done but still trying to maintain reliablity.

I built my SR20 in my living room about 5 years ago, DD'd, countless 400 mile 7 hour straight trips one way, Drifted and beat on it every day and weekend.

Still rocking to this day never had an issue even was still rocking the Stock oil pan until a 8 months ago

Its all about the quality of parts used and who puts it together.
