              engines are sold in the states and North America by our hosts and others..

              I guess it all just depends on what you want and where you are going to get it from..

                I thought so. Since I am new too Rovers, I have been surfing the web for all the resources. Our host seems to have it all, but I didnt see engines. Not that I need one, and hopefully wont anytime time soon. Good luck! Not to hijack your thread, but quick question, have you noticed a big difference in performance with different grades of fuel with your engine? I switched to 93 octane and I have to tell you it runs much better than when I use 87.

                    ok.. I cheated a bit..

                    Not ready to begin the install as of yet.. but I just couldn’t wait.. I wanted to see my pretty little turd..
                    I am also looking to replace as much as possible with new parts.. So I wanted dot get a look and see what needs to be ordered..
                    I want to keep my current engine as a turnkey solution, either to sell or hoard..

                      How much did the shipping hurt and how long did it take to get?

                          The crate and pallet must be made from that specially treated and certified pest free wood that they allow through customs.

                              Interesting....

                              In the 109 I picked up a couple years ago, it also has a Turner remanufactured engine, but it has a plate with a Turner serial number on the valve cover.
