Sadly that outfit where your seller got it done has left nothing but a trail of woe , everyone has always said that they were knocking their "refurbs" out at less than the cost of the labour , never mind the parts .
Unless you took all the new parts in , and watched over them , you just don’t really know what is inside
That said , there was a well respected engine builder up above the north that pumted a load of duff rebuilds out then disappeared , and he was known as a guru with Aircooled engines back in the day .
You really have to trust engine builders and bodyworkists , because unless you are actually standing there watching, anything could go on and by nature of the work , you would never really know .
Well said..or typed, Steve. Ive had dealings in the past with Elite. When they partnered with Steve at Gasure to give us southerners an option to convert to LPG without travelling so far north. In fact Elites messing about did me a favour. I left my camper with them in 2008 for a week (i went abroad) for conversion. I explicitly stated any problems please contact me immediately. Never heard a word all week so assumed all okay. On return to UK called Elite only to hear from some guy called Mick (or dick) grumble without a hint of care in his voice they hadn't even started the conversion yet.
Spoke to Steve in Cheshire and he pulled the plug with Elite cos of their messing around. He was full of apologies and drove to me in Kent. Left a car for me to use. Drove my camper back to Cheshire, converted it and had it back to me IN KENT in four days

What a guy
He truly was one in a million. I drove to him for every service despite being 250 miles away...worth every penny. Plus got to see the beauty of Anglesey on a regular basis.
