Anyone of you lot tried these people, I’ve been driving past thier site entrance on the A140 for what seems 20 years and thought I’d do a google.

Seems they cater for the much maligned K series…

Oh no, Can of worms, open and spilling everywhere!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

LOL, in short yes people do use them, with differing amounts of success, Chris Pearson has a 2 litre version in his very very fast silver and blue race car!!

Yep i have one as Sean says, i havent had much trouble with it to be honest considering the race miles its done. If you do need anything doing the prices are very reasonable as well, i recently had a cracked liner replaced by them for just �125
Performance wise its not far off an s/c honda and much quicker than an Audi

I had a 1900 k series from them, pulls very stong, had approx 230bhp from it and no issues… sold it due to a sc honda install couple of weeks ago though

Used to be demon tweekers of the old Formula Ford Kent engine - Alan? Wardropper used to own Scholar in the late 70’s - they were pretty good then…

I’ve never dealt with them directly but had their block and pistons since 2005, bought through and built by Dave Andrews. No ‘issues’ whatsoever.
