How are them Turner engines running? Any problems since the last 6 months I have been on this forum?? Any new developments in engine improvements?? I would like to think that my sidelined D2 has a future. Any info will be appreciated, thanx.

Default Short vs Long

Their website describes them as short engines (blocks) but they describe them as coming with heads and timing. Somebody here said they got a short block but wished they had gotten the long block. Why is that? What does a long block include the others don't?

I love mine. One year and 10,000 miles. No ticks, no leaks, and more power. Perfect!

Long block includes heads w/ rocker shafts. Some reasons to go long over short:
- Turner is the only ones who do gas flowed heads
- comparing cost of proper valve job, decking on existing heads ($450+) vs getting new heads from turner... makes it more appetizing to go long and no need to deal with a machinist

Short does not include heads. I would have gone long block, because the shop screwed up the head gasket job, and if I had gotten a long block I would not be replacing my head gaskets right now.

Greetings...pricing out engines for my Disco 2 now. Would you suggest Turner Long block over any other competitor?!
