Recon engine advice

[Latestarter1]

Im thinking of replacing my mercedes OM 636 engine with a reconditioned OM 636 from
a well known company.. oop north

The rebuilt engine will cost approx £4000

Basically.... anybody had good or bad experiences with these recons, will the engine last another 30 years ?

I do not know the so called well known company 'oop north' is, however there is only one outfit In the diesel engine industry who is recognised as the specialist Mercedes reconditioners in the UK, Crewe engines.http://www.creweengines.com/


Looked at some of the component costs on Federal Mogul site and could not make the numbers stack up. So I called Crewe Engines; 'Yes we can still provide reconditioned OM636's no longer sufficient call to keep exchange units on the shelf so we require your old unit to recondition. Price £1,295 plus VAT with warranty'. Is somebody is taking the pi"" here!

This is a company which remanufactures to BS.AU.257.1995.

No connection with these guys just known of them for about thirty years as THE Mercedes people, I stick with CAT, Cummins and if I have to Perkins stuff, these guys had fixes in place for OM447 problems before Mercedes had even identified them!
