[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 540414, member: 240"] The problem with recon units that that the term "recon" is interpreted differently by different companies. The original VW factory recon units were good because they simply replaced everything that was even slightly worn, making the unit good as new with all tolerances factory correct. I have seen "other" so called recon engines that were not reconditioned in the sense I am familiar with. These units were simply repaired and fixed up. Hence they can be a gamble. If you intend keeping the bus for some time then the Heritage option through Alex looks good value to me, because it uses new rather than recon parts. That means no line boring and non standard / oversize bearings, part worn components etc. In your situation I would go for it. Heritage have a good reputation and Alex knows his stuff; so if he says they are good you can believe it - (and he looks after his customers). [/QUOTE]
