Default Re: 3rd engine failure...getting frustrated

Mr goodcar,
You are not liable to ‘scare’ anyone , even if you tried, that is anyone who has experience with cars…. and particularly experience with old cars !
There have been many threads here, concerning costs of rebuilding model A and B engines. And tons of threads regarding buying questionable (junk) engines… to avoid the big $ involved to have a proper rebuild !
What does ‘REBUILT’ mean anyway ??? Think on that for a moment. How many times have you bought a car or just an engine, and the seller told you that the engine was ‘rebuilt’. How many times did that statement seal the deal/sale…. and that turns out be …. not true !!
How many rebuilt engine sellers issue a warranty in writing ? It is a buyer beware world.. most know that and we still get had … for small $ or big $.
What were we expecting when we buy a rebuilt for small $ ?

You get what you pay for saying , still has some truth to it, eh ?? Maybe not.

Those who like to spend their $ wisely, WILL purchase the Burtz new blk package… IMO.
And it is wise to have a big buck (A/B) engine dynod….(proof of function) prior to shelling out 5 to 10k +. Again JMO.

How many get a written detailed warranty and / or dyno results ? WHAT… none you say !
If ‘builder’ wont even talk to you about these very important things, you can always walk !
Who walks … anyone ?
The Burtz blk package is made in such way that a lot of youse with some mechanical ability can do work that saves $ in the engine building process.
AND, the available tech support is unprecedented!! Check it out , you may be surprised at how much you can do… and by how much you can save. And, you are working with NEW improved parts !
And, a manual of parts numbers/sources and instructions … that can guide you/ ME.
Hey, there is a heck of a lot of satisfaction in knowing that you did the work !
