                    Thanks

dont think there are ten maybe 5 at most

I\'d consider.....

Carl Hayward (Hayward Rotary)
Tim (RX Motors)
Max & co (ReWorx)
Ross (Dragon)
Jay Dee (An enigma !)
Pip (WGT)

Not in any order......

There is only two that will definitely give a warranty Carl Hayward and one thats not on the above list which is rotechniks. None of the others above will cover detonation. There are a few more options out there though.

Dont forget Jimmys in that also. Andrew puts a warranty on the engines too.

[kev-yorks]

There\'s a few of the above that say they give a warranty until you try to claim!

seems to be a very grey area..carl seems very upfront about his warranty
and i would guess most rebuilt engines dont go pop with anything but det so this wld seem to be the most important bit as if a engine pops other than with det then i would question build quality of that engine as to my mind a rebuilt engine with care shd be good for another 60 thousand miles
different if u run high boost but i feel a engine running 1 bar shd be at least a 50-60000 mile engine otherwise whats the point
mine popped due det the first time but the rebuild had abysmal compression on it so hoping third time lucky

[kev-yorks]

As above the majority of builders don\'t warrant against det the most common cause of major engine failure other than water seals. Ask the builders what they cover make your choice and pay your money.

Ive heard nothing but good things about carls rebuilds.  I have also had some other non rebuild mechanical proeblems in the past and they have usually been fixed with in 30 - 60 mins so a big thumbs up for Hayward rotary. :Thumbsup!

Speak to all first, and from experiance, get it in writting.
I have first hand experiance of listerning to tuners then not honouring the verbal agreements. (3 tuners)
I chased for invoices and never recieved them dont part with money until reciepted.
I hear people saying this tuner covers this, that tuner cover this. Crap and idol talk, get it in writting from the tuner.
There is only one tuner on the list above that has not to my knowledge had an engine blow on a customer, sometime the customers fault and sometime the tuners, quite often 2 side to the story. So ignore what people say on here get it from the horses mouth in writting, as the ones saying he warentees this or that arent the ones that will pick up the pieces if it goes wrong, they are merely expressing an opinion towards a fav tuner or friend.
All the above mentioned are cabable of giving you a good job, speak to them directly.

Thanks for that its useful ,my car has done 57.000 miles on original engine,is that an average then? Before rebuild.

another guy you might want to consider is Jason @ super7autos. //www.super7autos.co.uk
not as well known as these above guys, but just as good if not better than some of the above as an all round package IMO

Nothing is written in stone regarding rebuild mileage, an average figure is usually 60-65K, a compression check will allow you to see how well the engine is keeping up but is never a definate answer.

All depends on how the car has been treated in the past and if it has been maintained as it should be, single turbo rotaries will not last as long as twin turbo rotaries due to more pressure on the tips and the greater horse power.

Sound advice from Gary too, we can all quote decent engine builders but get your research done and choose the right builder for your car,

Gurj :yes
