Got my new engine (2276cc 155hp 154ft/lbs) from Chico in february of 2008. Stuffed it in my 64 vert and have about 3000 kms on it so far. It hauls ass and looks awesome. (MSD was added last year)

Chico was great to deal with.

I took my 1600 sp to him to just get tuned up and have some work done and had a strict budget and he got all the work done with some new parts too! Hes been more then helpful with all the stupid questions ive asked him and am planning on buying a 2110 when i find a money tree..

Chico's after-the-sell service is second to none. If you have an issue or question, he will do whatever it takes to help you. Truly a nice guy who cares about his name and his customers.

I purchases a second engine for my dune buggy from Chico. Pleasure to deal with before, during and after the build.

The service you get from Chico is beyond exceptional! About a year ago I received my 2332 from Chico for a 63 Karmann Ghia restoration project. I was only able to get it into the car about six months after the delivery due to project delays. After the car was finally complete, I drove it for several months and it was awesome, ran like a beast. Then about a month ago, it started to develop power loss and sporadic idle fluctuations. I thought it may have been the carbs, fuel delivery, electrical, etc… To make a long story short, the cam lobe wore flat due to poor materials used by the cam manufacturer, they had seen cases like this before, and unfortunately mine came from a bad batch. After I called Chico and explained what we found, he said no problem and generously offered to have the engine shipped back to his shop for a complete rebuild. He rebuilt the entire bottom end with all new parts and paid for the return shipping back to me as well. He also didn't charge me for all the new parts used or labor AND he even paid for my local shop to r & r the engine. He was even able to squeeze an additional 9 more horsepower out of it after the rebuild for a total of 191hp!! The engine just came back and runs like a champ! Incredible power.

All I can say is Chico's service, support, skills and courtesy are second to none. Many guys would have said, sorry it’s past your warrantee period, we can’t honor the repair or you’ll have to take it up with the manufacturer, etc. He never once made me feel as if he didn’t want to help me with the situation and get me back up and running. He is always available to answer questions and give any guidance and advice over the phone. I wish every business had the kind of service Chico has. His operation is top notch and so is his product. I would never even consider another engine builder. Thanks again Chico, you’re the best!

what's going on with yours? Did you pop the covers and check the valve movement?

71sbeetle · Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2012 3:01 pm Post subject:

Mine's working fine until it starts warming up and then it feels like a valve is sticking or something, loud clicking noises as if valves were not adjusted (they are) and the more it warms up the worse it gets, getting popping sounds from exhaust (exh. valve not fully closing?) at operating temp (180 oil temp about 275 head temp).

Chico is a stand up guy. I haven't had the chance to get a motor built from him but I got his alternator setup for my '68 fastback. I misplaced the installation instructions...especially the wiring diagram. I have no experience with vw wiring and Chico helped me with the wiring over the phone. His product and service is solid. Mahalos Chico!

...after I file taxes, I'll be hitting you up and continue discussing about the engine build for my fasty Very Happy

Same as the last guy, haven't bought an engine from Chico (though I sure would like to someday when funds allow), but I did get one of the alternators from his ads. Very fast replies to my emails for the total cost with shipping, and also sent an e-mail to let me know item had shipped. Item shipped very quickly and arrived at my door well packaged.

Thanks!

Bought a set of rebuilt rods from Chico. Fast shipping, great communication and the rods look really good.

I'd buy from him in a heart beat.

Thanks
