SeanG Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hey everyone, I would need to get a new full engine on exchange basis, I just wanted to know if you knew who can supply it. Quillers do a very very cheap offer : £1800 for rebuilt unit, and pay £250 on surcharge (not amazing but ok) I just wondered what are the other options ? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Do your research into your "chosen" supplier before you make a firm decision. You may decode on an alternative supplier. And do not buy on price alone....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sulzerman Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Don't go for cheap, engine parts are expensive you pay for what you get. It's cheap for a reason! I have just spent nearly £700 on a recon head for my 6 cylinder 2.5, this was me doing all the fitting ect Jigsaw are good or a club exchange engine would be good. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Groves Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 That's where the TSSC engines come from I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 My post meant you need to do your research on the supplier you mentioned! Carefully. Then find a supplier who you want to do business with...... I am not up to date with engine costs, probably because it would scare me! £750 sounds a lot to recon a head, I paid £150 for a spitfire head a few years ago for valve seats etc, so I would have thought a 6 today would be £350 for a clean, valves and seats?? Maybe other work was carried out. However, it may be worth contacting a local machine shop and get some prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanG Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 still very cheap if they do all the work that s in the video with this standard, alright stupid question no2, cylinder head remanufacture is included too or just small engine ?

Darren Groves Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 The £2574 is for a full engine, a short engine (block section only) isn't an option from the club shop. On page 6 you can buy just a cylinder head. All the club shop engine/head options are for reconditioning your own unit, not exchange (except 1500). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Only thing to think about is the club engines are not exchange, the work is done on your original engine. So depends how damaged your engine is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I've been looking into having my GT6 mk3 engine remanufactured. I agree with others that you will get what you pay for. I want a top quality job doing so I'll be going with Ivor Searl. The price they quoted me, which included VAT was the same as the TSSC club price with the discount. Ivor Searl will collect and return your engine (within the UK) for £150 +VAT. These prices were quoted me in Feb 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 club shop delivery looks like £60 with a refundable £60 for the engine transit frame Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve C Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Sean If funds are tight, you would be better off going for a known quantity second-hand engine that can be heard running, or is vouched for by a club member, and then saving up the shekels for a proper remanufactured unit. As others have rightly said on this thread, you really do get what you pay for. If you look at the Federation of engine Remanufacturers website, you will see just what has to be done to gain their accreditation: http://www.federationofengineremanufacturers.co.uk/ Second-hand units are still out there in peoples garages, and from cars being broken, and a "wants" ad in the Courier may yield something suitable.
