Does anybody have any experience with them? I found what seems like a killer deal on a waterboxer engine, my mechanic told me to check around the net though and see if anyone had any experience with them.

Here's the link http://www.waterboxer.com/engines/vw-vanagon-19l-engine

Killer deal....you got that right.
Read up a bit on the history of "killer" waterboxers.

The guys that know how to build WBX's correctly spend more money in parts than these people retail their engines for. You get what you pay for.

I have one. The PO had it installed and it runs well. That being said the vast majority of people seem to despise waterboxers. I will say i have no idea what engine i have, no where on the paperwork does it say.....classy!

Hope you folks are still keeping the vigil going against this guy. It is distressing to see he has set-up shop here in NC. Fortunately I've never had any dealings with him and thanks to your past efforts in getting out the word, I never will. Here is a link to the BBB listing for him. http://www.bbb.org/raleigh-durham/business-reviews...complaints
