I am trying to talk my dad out of rebuilding our motor 73 1.7 because I know it will be at least a year before he gets that thing done. Anyone ever hear of this company, seems like 1,255.00 for a complete rebuild is pretty cheap am I missing something?

There are a few horror stories, but read them carefully, some of the people posting negative have never bought an engine from them. The guy selling them is the previous owner of SIR. They were a VW remanufacturing plant that was down the street from Rimco back in the 70's and 80's. The guy is in a wheel chair now and wanting to retire. Very nice guy. He has all the work done for him at a plant in Placentia. These are the same guys that used to work for him when he was in Santa Ana. They also had a big write up about head reconditioning in VW magazine back in the day. I guess the only way to find out, would be to contact someone who has bought from them. Check their Ebay feedback and contact some of the people that left them feedback. If it is important to you, that is what I would do. Then you will get real info from real owners. Not heresay.
Just trying to be fair. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
