Absolute Brand Engine Rebuild Kits - THOUGHTS???

RTR · Apr 22, 2021

Good morning folks....I'm looking for your thoughts and reviews on "Absolute" branded engine rebuild kits. I'm looking at that brand kit (sold by Hy-Capacity) and looking at a Tisco kit and the OEM kit. The OEM kit is about double the cost of the Absolute kit. Customer wants highest quality but isn't wanting to pay $3,300 for the OEM kit. This is specifically for a D-2800 engine in an Allis Chalmers 185 engine.

I haven't seen that brand but I did get parts from Reliance. The main and rod bearings were rebranded F-M. Chances are at least some of their parts are.

Here is the kit I am talking about.

Can't say anything about Absolute as I've never heard of them before.
I have had good luck using Reliance engine parts
DT466 kit we did last year came with pistons and rings preassembled in the liners, slid the pistons down enough to attach the rods and dropped the assemblies in the holes.

remark in writing on the estimate and bill that you do not using the lowest price and unknown brand components . Have the customer sign that it was his own choice ,
Against advice to install the lowest
Cost components .
The customer will often re-think their choice in components .
