Quality Control - Engines and Engine Parts

I have just received the product and I am very disappointed, its quality is far below average. First my product was repaired with solder to plug a hole that I believe was a metal casting problem. .There is simply no finish on the cover, I mean it hasn't even been cleaned enough to be used without risk to the engine, there is a large amount of metal shavings that barely cling to the cover and otherwise can fall in clear. .The gasket that comes with the kit is at most 2/10 quality, yes they fit, but for example the eccentric shaft sensor, it must have a small spring to keep the pressure on the sensor, in this case not T. .Buy it so just don't do that, go with cheap and plain plastic. I'm only giving these 2 stars because it's possible that if you want to spend a few days cleaning everything up and yours hasn't been fixed you'll get a good deal and years of service but there for the do-it-yourselfers play it safe outside. Update: I just got a second one and it's just the worst, I don't care that it's refurbished it's just such a low quality repair, a lot of effort has gone into it. I will never buy or recommend any Mitzone product.

Pros
  • It offers significant value, especially when compared to the BMW factory plastic part #11127552281 ($400+). This really is a significant cost saving.
Cons
  • Volume
