Yeah i know so cant understand, he\'s either genuine and making little to nothing on his rebuilds or he\'s cutting corners in builds in order to make and save money.......now which one sounds more plausable?

Anyone can build but can everyone build with new parts do a quality job and give good compression.... You get what you pay for in my opinion.

I would say Chris is more than capable of building a engine.

Wow!
 
£2000 including vat.
 
Full rebuild, even says they\'ll replace bad housings and plates at no additional cost and this includes removal and refitting ready to drive.
 
I have no idea how you could make this work as a business proposition unless you can get the rebuild parts at a super deep discount or you have a super cheap hourly rate or both.
 
Why is this on ebay in Belgium?
