Funny how this question is often the first question asked even by people that arnt in the market at times and it seems to be asked only to denigrate
whats on offer.
Yes there are some "Gun" engine builders out there but in reality they have failures also and there are many enthusiasts that are able to build top
notch donks.
I also recon there are more important questions such as what components were used , what machining was done what cam what heads valves ports? etc
etc.
Nothing personal empi ( if you search ""who built it " there are pages of them ) you may be in the market but I doubt you or anyone know everyone
that is capable of putting together a reliable engine and even if it is from a name builder there is no guarantee on a secondhand engine.
The strongest smoothest donk I have ever had was built buy some unknown guy in South Africa. I have an industrial 1600 SP that is all german and low
hours and its not as smooth it was built by Hans in Wolfsburg.
Yes undeniably if you are told this is built by RP or DB or SP or WP or PD or some other recognised builder it will give you a warm feeling but I
recon that about all you can guarantee. In the end the beauty of these little engines is that they are simple and easy to understand thats one of the
reasons we are attracted to them.

Ditto man, I am an "unrecognised engine builder that delivers up to 2 engines a week, that run smooth, use bugger all fuel and don't leak oil or
excuses----

Fair question I reckon....(not sure why unrelated parties are so sensitive about legit questions). So...
Who built/rebuilt it?
How many kms? (If the rebuild was only top end and not the original 1835 build, how many kms on the bottom end?)
A bit more info re: components? Cam, head specs any ancillaries (apart from the Webers)?
Cheers
Adam.
And yes, I am in the market for the right engine at the right price.

Not sensitive just curious why unrelated parties ask the question?
It is definitely a fair question to ask but in isolation its not a good one. There are other more educated and more revealing questions to ask like
some of the ones you just did Adam .
Sorry to hijack this post at least you are getting bumped. Good luck with the sale.

Just to take this thread in a totally new direction, and give the op another bump, are/were you running the industrial 1600 SP in anything and, if you
are/were, what are your experiences with it?
Very interested as I have one with 47 hours on it and looking to put it in a split window kombi. Please pm me if this is not the right place to have
this discussion - many thanks

Pretty sure if you were interested in the engine you would contact the seller direct to discuss it further instead of winging, whining and complaining
here....who built it, who built it..........seriously.....................
empi - November 19th, 2015 at 08:41 AM
Faark, sorry was just asking the question as the advertisement was very vague and this seller is local to me, i have worked in the Vw industry and
know a lot of the people that build engines down here in Victoria.
Thanks Waltermitty for butting in, i am in the market for a new motor, i am sure this seller would appreciate your input as i am sure you are
affiliated with them and can see that you are helping their sales campaign.
After you valid input i have decided to buy a motor from overseas.

Don't see the problem. Very valid question in a lot of people's minds!!!

I thought the purpose of a forum was to strike up a discussion.
