<br>I am going to list my expereinces with Just VEEDUBS out of Tempe, AZ<br><br>1) ordered "econo" longblock for my 82 Westy, $1295+shipping<br>2) Engine took over 3 months to get here<br>3) engine arrived MINUS flywheel, distributor drive, rockers pushrods. (We DID discuss my using my old rockers and pushrods but I was led to believe that the distributor drive and flywheel WOULD be installed)<br>4) Engine cases had cobwebs and an old GEX sticker on them, should've been my first hint. I know cosmetics don't affect how an engine will run but it DOES say something about the re-builder and hey...at LEAST scrape off hthe crumbling GEX sticker before you ship the thing!<br>5) The cases and pushrod tubes were sealed with black RTV sealant and OLD O-rings were used on the pushrod tubes.<br>6) once oil was put into the engine it leaked from the center cover, I removed the cover and found that 1)there was NO screen and 2)the OLD gaskets had been used on the cover plate.<br>7) after having run the engine for 10 minutes I dropped the oil and filter and found bits of SHOP RAG on the filter.<br>
once it was fired up it began to leak COPIOUS amounts of oil from the puhsrod seals. I STILL haven't been able to get the valve covers to seal and I've tried EVERYTHING!<br>Now, I've done a LOT of mechanical work over the years and I really should have known better than to install this thing in the first place.<br>To his credit Jose with JustVeeDubs DID offer to take the engine back when I initially expressed my concerns.<br>BUT....Silly me, I took that as a sign that I had a good engineand procedded to install it.<br>Since then I have contacted Jose with JustVeeDubs sevreal times and been told that since the engine has been installed I now have a "warranty" issue and would I like to be reimbursed for chasing the oil leaks! <br>The shop rag floating in the crankcase was totaly minimized. Now I don't know about anyone else but I would be more than a little concerned about a shop rag in the crankcase.<br>I am taking thi$ a$ a VERY expen$ive lesson and have since ordered an engine from Boston Bob<br>I'm sure the guys at JustVeeDubs have a totally different take on the situation but I am NOT HAPPY with the engine or the customer service I've recieved from JustVeeDubs<br><br>BUYER BEWARE!
