New turn key engines.

Hey folks. Something that has grabbed my attention very recently is new turn key engines. Who has actually bought one and what are your experiences with them ? Good , bad erc. They are very expensive but so tempting and an investment maybe well when i can eventually afford one ha.

If you're spending the best part of £5-6k go to a reputable engine builder and get one for your needs, rather than a company that churns them out.
Abel Atafonso has a good reputation on here, along with Hector Howe.

I’ll 2nd the vote for Hector Howe, he’s a very close friend of mine and an awesome engine builder. Me and him work together building and installing engines in both bugs & buses ranging from bone stock 1200’s to big cc race motors including the 2276 nitrous motor in my own 1970 bus.

I used VW Engine Co turnkey service for my new 1776 about 18 months ago and very pleased with their service and they did a great job of renovating the tinwear etc and neatly routing and fixing pipe work and wiring.
My bus starts and runs like a dream now

Another one for VW engine company. Spoke to them at Camperjam about needs, followed up after on the phone and their service and customer attention was brilliant. As above its a case of doing your homework before commiting.
