Liam did an excellent job and service was amazing! Thanks again Liam!Hoping to get the engine in next weekend Also my WEPR goodies have been shipped where did you buy that engine mate? looks like my old one i sold!? Quote

Excellent service once again from Liam! Thanks buddy!Expecting a call from Rob today with an update on the engine, Rob is extremely busy so no idea when I will have it back!

Shouldn't feel bad about checking in on an investment ..... especially one thats costing a fair amount ! Looking forwards to seeing this done James Quote

Looking forwards to seeing this done James This ☝If you don't check in with him yours will end up like the rb26 which has been there since about June 😂 Like you say it will be worth the wait! Quote
Charlie28 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 I'll give him another call on the 24th and update you guys Quote

James, I'm not really in any rush for it back, but it would be nice to get it in before the weather gets awful! Rob has said the end of this month, so i will give him another call next Friday to see how he is getting on (he has confirmed they are working on it) Spec wise, its very similar to your engine, minus the head work yours had (valve springs ect) Rob has re-used the Scat rods i had, and replaced the pistons with some 75mm PEC ones Quote
Charlie28 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Just off the phone to Rob, engine is 90% there now and i have agreed with him to collect it on the 14th November Quote
