Hi folks,

An American friend of mine, has led me to an American WBX machining and rebuild shop owned by a man named Rocky Jennings. Looks like it might be a useful contact, so I thought I would pass it on. He ships world-wide. http://rockyjennings.com/

What a crap website...no information whatsoever on what work they do....just photos!

In the UK and a well respected tuner of WBX engines however is Marco Mansi.

What would be the cost of shipping an engine to America and back.?

Hi again,

This is a bit weird! I didn't post that URL to the Jennings website, so somehow someone has editted my post.. ... This, however is the URL to his WBX page.

Please remember this was only to chuck another option into the mix, I am not recommending this person - I hadn't heard of him until my mate emailed me this morning with details of the tuned motor he is having built there. Anyone wanting a WBX motor can, of course, pay their money and take their choice!

Probably enough that it'd be worth paying a core charge, so you're only shipping one way...

The other guy with a superb rep stateside seems to be TenCentLife off Samba (and occasionally here) - http://www.vanistan.com
His exhaust is reckoned to be the best available, too.

Some cracking sites there!
I like the fact that the guy (vanistan) will increase the warranty from 1 to 2 years if you fit his oil cooler kit - he must have a lot of faith in it (Which is good)

What happens if summat goes wrong under warranty.A bit of a pain getting an engine back to the states.
