The engine was torn down for inspection. We wanted to inspect for any wear. Rubens engine is our first built S63 and has the most mileage on it compared to our other 4 built S63's. Like a race team that measures engines on hours and then has the engine taken out and sent back to the manufacturer for inspection we wanted to do something similar. We pulled the engine, performed the tear down, inspected seals, gaskets, connecting rod bearings, main bearings, cylinder walls, piston rings, pistons, crankshaft, camshafts, valves. After was inspected and checked out we simply reinstalled the pistons, crankshaft, camshafts, valves, valve springs with all new seals, gaskets, connecting rod bearings and crankshaft bearings.

Awesome. Great to see that a company like yours has the customer's best interest at the top of it's priorities. And, it sure doesn't hurt your reputation.

If you had 30,000+ miles on your first built engine that makes over 1000rwhp and then wanted to crank the boost up to make even more power wouldn't you be interested to see how everything was wearing internally?

This is just part of who we are, we wouldn't want to just throw an engine together and then just keep turning up the boost until... oh crap sorry we blew the engine.... Although we are a small shop and dont make race engines on a daily basis we do like to break down engines for inspections and report to the owner our findings. This is just a sign of going above and beyond and by expanding our knowledge of how things wear in under these conditions.

Dont worry the engine didnt let go or blow up. If it did Id show photos, Im pretty sure just about everyone in here would love to see that.

Awesome. Good to see that a company like yours is looking out for it's customer's best interests. Also, doesn't hurt your reputation at all.
