Rebuilding the engine with new parts

[Steelflight]

I suggest this to all new players and will potentially save you alot of headache in the future. If your engine is already complete, take it back out and disassemble it until the crankshaft is removed. All of the wearable parts will now appear on the mechanic's shelf. I suggest buying all but the oil pan and the block. This will cost your around 6600 total but it is worth the price. All of your parts will have over a 90% condition rate afterward. Your car will run a long time after this if you do not dog it out too badly.

The headgasket can wear fast so you should still keep an eye on this part. There is a much easier way to do this with the editor but will not talk about it since it takes the fun out of the game. My car has been running great and have 1100k on my odometer. I have not replaced anything but the headgasket since I have rebuilt the engine. I do not suggest bothering with repairing the parts since the condtions will only be around 50%.

Thank you! This was helpful indeed! I just got 3rd place in the rally at the cost of my engine XD

No problem! I now have 1750 on my odometer and my crankshaft and rockershaft are still around 65%. You should not have to bother with those parts for a long time. I just replaced my gearbox since I was installing the new flywheel anyways and it was still at 45%. Good job on the rally. It took me many attempts to win it.

Best way dont drive Satsuma to the limit like me xD

3 Rounds 180- 220kmh burn headgasket very fast .

My headgasket seems to burn down fast sometimes as well. The headgasket and water pump are the two parts I seem to have to replace often.

It would be nice if the mechanic always carried all parts.

Yes, but it's a little strange parts which we buy at fleetari and them condition is over 90% have some rust

[Steelflight]

They should look “nicer” the higher the percentage of the part. That may be an idea for the suggestions forum.
