theyre for long blocks i have another trick up my sleeve with a potential gentleman... a subaru conversion he's thinking of removing as he hasnt to sold the bus with it fitted Sent from my ELE-L09 using Tapatalk
im seeing him at stanford hall on Monday, ive never been and its a 5hr round trip.. so Sent from my ELE-L09 using Tapatalk
Certainly could be a good solution for you as he's done all the hard work. Be prepared for a bodgy install if nobody wants to buy his bus due to it. Doesn't mean you can't improve things during your fitting. I suggest you familiarise yourself with what a good installation looks like before you look at it. Even google photos will give you a good idea.
I agree - sort of, but air-cooled engines have got so expensive and so many re-conditioners don't care what they provide as long as it lasts for 1 year/10,000 miles it's a minefield.
exactly this it all looks prim and proper, just had it serviced and timing belts done too. i know a marmity install so i can judge on that. Sent from my ELE-L09 using Tapatalk
I just want to say a massive thank you to absolutely everyone for their response to this. my phone has literally not stopped this week, phone calls of advice, time given to support any queries i may have.. question the bay ownership. etc i have people offering help to bring parts accross the country to me.. people sending me every engine that pops up online and others just taking time out to motivate and push me onto the next step. Many thanks, I'm truly humbled... I'll see you all at TE and stanford hall if i manage to get over! Sent from my ELE-L09 using Tapatalk
Hope you get it all sorted and your van is running lovely again @MR SAM HODSON I haven’t offered any advice as I know nothing about engines, in fact after reading this whole thread I realise that I there is tons more about engines that I didn’t know about! Hurray for all the good folk of TLB who do, and their willingness to help and share that knowledge ps if you go to TE and don’t want to camp you could copy @art b and stay in luxury in the B&B at the farm
Rumour has it ...he has champagne in a ice bucket on arrival at the B&B . How he laughs at us lot through the window .
