[ROVERNET - UK] V8 Engine rebuild - surprised at professional advice

[David Read]

Hi Peter
I feel the rebuilder is more intent on making a few $$$$'s than 
providing genuine service ....
:-(
I would not even consider a relinered unit unless they were top hat format.
Here is a dealer in my neck of the woods (not the cheapest)
http://www.triumphroverspares.com.au/html/specials.htm

NEW 3.9 short for $3250
or
a NEW 4.6 crossbolt block for $1950

Cheers
Dave
