[QUOTE="Alex VW Heritage, post: 517953, member: 19109"] I can help with a 1776cc and a freeway flyer, I would look carefully at the specs of all the engines you are thinking of, differing companies offer very different quality of parts etc. Especially when it comes to remanufactured engines. I have a 2276cc in my bay which is pretty highly strung. In 6 years I've rebuilt it twice and its sat awaiting it's third, but this has all been due to my heavy right foot and lots of high RPM burnouts, so completely my own fault. But bigger cc engines are much more likely to go wrong and require a much higher level of maintanance. Had a 1776cc before that which I gave similar abuse too and its still going strong in its third bus (I had it in two) and have now sold it to a chap that has it in his van. the engine is 10 years old done about 80,000 miles and been proper abused and never missed a beat. Let me know if I can help or offer any more advise: alex@vwheritage.com 01273 444 000 [/QUOTE]
