    Anyone have any input on dealing with Mark at Rover Park Boys?

    I haven't purchased from them, but I did contact them about buying a "performance" 2.25 motor a couple of months ago. Great guys, good pricing, but as rejeep said, they are VERY slow to respond.

    I had a particularly poor experience with them. I purchased an 8:1, rebuilt head a couple years ago. Installed the head and immediately stuck an exhaust valve. Didn't recognize it at the time and had the bottom of the engine completely rebuilt over the course of the following year. Reinstalled the Rover Park head and stuck a valve again. The folks who did the bottom end job checked the head and found all the guides to be too tight. Also never heard back from RPB them when I enquired about my core charge refund (email).
    To be fair I have not tried to approach them again with the head rebuild issue to see what they would be willing to do. Perhaps I should.

    Patience....................I ordered the parts for my motor on Sept 9, I have yet to see the complete order. I've exchanged numerous e-mails all with the response of "....we will have that all right out." They were extremely quick on the running of my card though!

    I will not be using them again.

    I bought some parts from them for my Rover and they sent them out to me right away and they never charged my card until after I had them. I also ordered a block heater from them but it hasn't showed up yet and that was over a month ago. So my experince with them has been more good than bad.

    They were only a 20 minute drive from me so they were VERY convenient, I'm sorry they closed up shop as now the parts are 3 1/2 hours away.
