Title: Best UK engine builders Post by: UltraOrange67-2443 on December 05, 2016, 20:53:42 pm Who are the best current UK engine builders?
Title: Re: Best UK engine builders Post by: spoolin70 on December 05, 2016, 21:40:33 pm Define best ?
Is a 8sec engine that lasts 10 runs 'better' than a 11sec engine that lasts 30 runs ? Is a builder close by that answers the phone and has teething problems in a build 'better' than a builder far away that has a year waiting list and is hard to contact but puts together a faultless engine ? Power, reliability, cost, service, location, parts buyer or assembler ? Different priorities would determine 'best' Title: Re: Best UK engine builders Post by: leec on December 05, 2016, 22:18:14 pm I can only recommend who I have used. Matt Keene @Airkraft.
I'm a fussy, almost impossible to please person at times but have been 110% happy with the engine and Matt is a good guy too. Lee Title: Re: Best UK engine builders Post by: UltraOrange67-2443 on December 05, 2016, 23:10:11 pm I'm out of touch with the builders in the scene at the moment.
Just looking for feedback. Title: Re: Best UK engine builders Post by: Garrick Clark on December 11, 2016, 11:32:19 am In my opinion an engine builder who builds an engine in a week isn't good.
A builder that takes his time measuring everything twice = good A builder that rings the customer with regular updates =good A builder that take's pictures of everything.=good A builder that answers the phone when you ring 1st try=good I always advise people what parts to buy, then ask them to buy there own parts so they no I'm not ripping them off. A builder who gives a guarantee on a strip motor=VERY good ( As long as the builder fits and tunes it and YOU the owner doesn't change any settings EVER). I Think JMR gives a 12 month warranty whether its street or strip use. =VERY good. Teething problems... It happens to everyone. You could go on and on with this topic. |
