RMI/VEE MOTORS

[calooker]

I think the one important thing one needs to remember when it comes to a new engine, is that there are 2 types of engines, one built by a parts assembler and one built by an engine builder, the latter being the only option.

Whilst many of the private engine builders are producing top- notch work, I wonder how many of them are "professional engine builders"as such.
More likely, and better so, most of them are self taught boffins who started off fiddling with a Zundapp years ago and just grew know-how from there. Probably most have "University of hard knocks " degrees, and have done their own development work and re-search over the years. I have found that some of the best of these type of guys are not even time served qualified mechanics , and the mechanical interest spring from hobbies that they developed a lifelong passion for.

Pops had dealing with VEE Motors way back in the late 80s if I'm not mistaken.

Wasnt a good experiance. He'd bought a T4 2.0l engine and as a special deal you had to redo it yourself after it packed up.

What put me off was the guarantee - that is not enough km's to put my mind to rest. anyone can assemble a motor that will run a few km's (guaranteed).

Well I always stand by my Warranty

You get a 2 part warranty when you fing it up you get both parts back you paid for them right

One day when I become a real old fart and retire, i will build engines for a lucky few of you--- if you ask nicely of course---

Lol
