Hi guys I had problem in my engine weeks ago and then the mechanic pulled the engine and discovered 6 bent valves . Okay so he said since we pulled the engine I recommend you change piston rings I said okay but i believe he was after money only I said will you bring oem parts? He said for sure , he said come back after 5 days but I just went there after 3 days and he was working on the engine and parts was there not oem !!! And even wrong parts installed he used TP piston rings and another cheap made in japan rod and crank bearing I saw bearing box it was for VG30 !! And also installed after market gasket which I don't really know what brand is this one and GMB water pump . Now should I pay him or I ask to change the bearings again with correct VQ30 BEARINGS?

You can Buy a Used running Vq30 these days for 400 or less. Way cheaper then rebuilding anything... Oil Pump..?

 

everyone is out to make a buck these days, especially with covid. if they can rip you off they will, talk to him and say, " what happened to the oem parts i asked for and you said you would install?" make a point in stating that he agreed to put in oem and he's not, don't be afraid of these d-bags. talk, don't yell, you attract more bees with honey than vinegar.

 

I for one would like to hear how this story ends.

 

It's common sense it's a vq30 motor and it will and should use vq30de parts not 3rd gen vg30 parts. I read this thread way back when it was posted by the op, I wanted to answer it than but thought they would have figured it out by now.
