"The CA18 is just your everyday shopping engine - it's a shitbox with little rods. A horrible thing." IS THIS COCKSUCKER FOR REAL!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??? I've seen tougher VG's and even you guys have told me that I have nothing to fear with my engine builder being worried that my cylinder walls are only 4 mil thick! I'm amazed guys like him actually do get the business.
What are some of the worst engines you've encountered?
"Probably the worst engines Nissan make are the CA18 and VG30. The VGs are a bit like a good Chev from the early days - if you have a really good one, it's got no Chev bits left in it! Look, I've got a VG upstairs - an ex-US1100hp qualifying engine, which originally cost US$114,000. I don't think there's one single thing on it that's Nissan.
