Bench Testing
Apart from having a multitude of new parts & components fitted - and with a 12 Month/12,000 Mile
Warranty - our engine units are run on a test bed after assembly. During the test-run period (at
varying engine speeds), all external joints and seals are checked, and the water temperature and oil
pressure are monitored to verify correct operation. After the bench test, the engines undergo a final
inspection and are prepared for sale.
NOTE: All units are drained of oil & water before despatch.
Our Full Engines are assembled ready to accept manifolds, water pump and other ancillaries.
Additional installation information and running-in details are supplied with every unit. We can also
supply a 'Full Engine Build-Up Kit' that includes all necessary gaskets/oil filter etc, enabling you to
install the full engine in your vehicle. Alternatively, fitting can be arranged locally in Lincoln if
required, please enquire for details & costs.
NOTE: If you are comparing prices may we suggest that specifications are also compared.

Full Engine Build-up When building up a Full Engine to a complete assembly, check the condition of your old water pump, if unsure, replace or overhaul with a reconditioning kit. The condition of the radiator is crucial to ensure proper and efficient cooling - either replace or have tested professionally (see Warranties), as are all the hoses and thermostat, we strongly recommend these are examined carefully, or replaced as a matter of course. Engine mountings, clutch etc, should also be inspected and renewed where necessary. Ensure correct strength anti-freeze is used in the cooling system. Carburettors should be in good working order with mixture & balance set correctly. Please familiarise yourself with the running-in and head re-torquing instructions on the card supplied with every engine unit. If this card has become separated from the engine when you take delivery, please contact us.

'New' Sprint Full Engines
Over the years we have been constantly 'buying-up' large stocks of Brand
New Blocks and Cylinder Heads from Factory sources (these supplies are
now almost exhausted). So, for the discerning owner who would prefer a
New Sprint Full Engine to reconditioned, you now have the choice.
These Full Engines are actually built-up using a New Short Engine &
Cylinder Head shell, with new components used throughout* (exceptions
may include the sump pan and timing cover, when serviceable
reconditioned units may be fitted). Full Engines are assembled ready to
accept manifolds, water pump & other ancillaries. Additional installation
information and running-in details are supplied with every unit.
We can also supply a 'Full Engine Build-Up Kit' that includes all necessary
gaskets/oil filter etc, enabling you to install the full engine in your vehicle.
Alternatively, fitting can be arranged locally in Lincoln if required, please
enquire for details & costs.

Bench Testing - New Full Engines
Bench testing can also be carried out on new engines at an additional

'New' Sprint & 1850 Short Engines
New* Short engines are supplied less the oil pump and jackshaft.
The warranty on new engines is that of our reconditioned units - please
refer to the 'Warranties' section in our price guide.

*A reground 10/10 Crank is used for new Sprint Full and Sprint & 1850 Short Engines.

Short Engine Build-up When building up a short engine to a complete assembly, check the condition of timing chain, guides, tensioner, sprockets, water pump (replace or overhaul with reconditioning kit), jackshaft or camshaft, cylinder head face (for flatness), valves, guides, cam followers, camshaft etc, and replace where necessary. We supply all these components separately if required along with gasket sets, oil seals, spigot bush, oil filter etc. The condition of the radiator is crucial to ensure proper and efficient cooling - either replace or have tested professionally (see Warranties), as are all the hoses and thermostat, we strongly recommend these are examined carefully, or replaced as a matter of course. Ensure correct strength anti-freeze is used in the cooling system. Carburettors should be in good working order with mixture and balance set correctly.
