    I got a claw hammer from Home de pot to fit once. it went through the Birmabrite like butter. Left it for several weeks before filling hole with V8 oil fill cap. (yup, back to genuine parts)

    Zooropa,

    just to show that all engines from the UK aren't junked motors. These guys http://www.turner-engineering.co.uk/index.html do rebuilt engines running from £1950 exchange (about $3000). Obviously you would have to ask them about a non exchange engine but they do ship world wide. They have an excellent reputation for quality here in the UK.They also do perfomance cylinder heads which again have a great reputation. I don't know anything about import regs into the US so that'll have to be something you work out.

    All the best

    One of the drawbacks of obtaining major units from the UK is warranty.
    Our experience has been that many suppliers are reluctant to follow up with after sales service.
    RN stands by their products, I am sure their are folks on this BBS who will chime in with their own feedback on this.

    Les, like you mentioned, warranty support may not exist but whether or not that is needed, well that's something for the individual to decide. That's the beauty of living in America!

    To my knowledge Turner sells blocks,long blocks, and cylinder heads for use as replacements but no complete running units with all ancillarys for diesel conversions as per this thread.
    M&D http://www.mdengineering.co.uk/ is the premier kit exporter in the UK.

    I believe that is correct. Not to mention a certain cylinder head that had a .002" step machined right down the middle of it. That was "within spec" according to the fine folks at Turner. Oops I said I was gonna keep my mouth shut. Ah well, that was over 10 years ago...
