Thanks for the replies!!!
I would love to do a GM engine swap and in my younger days I would definitely be all over that. But, now with my work schedule and all of the other projects around the house, farm, tractors and other vehicles…I just don’t see that happening. However, the Turner engine thread has definitely got me thinking. I enjoy building engines and of course I always build my own stuff, but this one is a different beast and with my time restricted as it is and my machine shop clogged up with racing stuff, this looks like a great alternative. It looks like they do quality work and the flanged sleeves with bottom seals is, without a doubt, the best way to go. I usually have my rotating assemblies balanced, don’t know if they offer that…would have to either buy from them or send over a balancer and flex plate. I could forgo balancing on this one though.
Definitely gives me something to stew on. Right now I’m working 12 hours a day 7 days a week, so just keeping the yard mowed is a chore…no garden this year, just a few tomato plants…that sucks, but I’m earning and saving a few bucks, may end up sending a few of those bucks to the mother land for a Rover engine…lol. After July I should be back on a 48 hour work week...dang, I look forward to that!!!

 

petminded I was responding to the rimmer bros. uk post.


tndave like you I have always assembled my own and had them balanced,and you are right about the flywheel and balancer.
LR claims that the rotating assemblies are internally balanced, probably not what we would consider balanced, they probably use more of a go/ not go type system.
but if I were buying a engine that someone else had done the machine and assembly Turner would be one of the few I would buy.
