Rebuilt Engines

["Bruce Hevner" <scramblr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Be careful when looking for "rebuilt" engines.
In over 30 years of rebuilding and selling rebuilt engines I have seen some
real junk put out by some rebuilders. 
It definitely IS one item where you get what you pay for. But you need to
know WHAT you ARE getting. MANY rebuilders REUSE valve train parts like
rocker arms & pushrods to help them keep the price down. ASK QUESTIONS, WHAT
is "reconditioned" and what is "replaced". What machine operations are
performed? Have they been "spin tested" or "hot run"?  Is the warranty
nation wide and who is it administered by?
Quality rebuilt engines cost money, especially late model stuff.
If I needed an engine in a hurry or didn't have a core, I purchased from
these folks
http://www.atk-engines.com/
Their engines are top notch and they have many hard to find applications. I
started using their Japanese engines YEARS ago when they had apps we just
could NOT find cores for. We had very few problems with them and were always
easy to deal with. MOST of their standard engines carry a 3 YEAR WARRANTY.
As with everything there are exceptions so be sure to check with them first.

REMEMBER,,, cheap engines are cheap for a reason, maybe what they are
selling will fit your needs. Just be SURE you know WHAT you are getting. I
would,,,,
But hey,,, that's just me!!!
