[HopinImFloatin]

anyone ever have problems with rapido marine replacement engines? ive seen some posts and most are positive, any negatives? their prices just seem too good to be true. i will be need int to replace my 4.3l 1987 omc engine soon due to a crack in the block:facepalm:. its not leaking internally or externally at this time but doubtful that it is long for the world. thanks in advance.

Re: replacement engines?

I am not having a good experieince right now. I will detail my issues later, but I would not let these guys change a spark plug after the shoddy build they provided me. In full disclosure I have not seen how they stand by the product yet, but I would not want them performing any warranty work either. I bought after a number of good reviews here.

I had a good experience 2-3 years ago. No valve covers and no oil pan, so it is a little more work for the mechanic. I had a hard time finding an installer; they all want the Jasper kickback.
