| CASE ONAN B43 18HP ENGINE BLOCK REBUILT REMANUFACTURED CORE REQUIRED |
See notes below!
This is a brand new rebuild, not a brand new engine!
A properly re manufactured engine is as good or better than a new one as ( seasoned ) blocks have less chance of warpage or change as you use them than a new one. Also this is a very hard engine to get properly rebuilt as about 40% of people that call us had it rebuilt by someone else and it was junk, sometimes in as little as a couple months. This engine has unique features that need attention that other motors don't. We've sent over 1600 of these out without issue so you can buy here with confidence!
We do require a good core back as our price is based on receiving one. Problem is with the Onans is that over 50% of return cores are bad so keep that in mind when ordering. Biggest problem on return cores is seats loose or out and we can tell you signs that you have that problem if you call us. We still give partial credit for good cranks and cam. Good reliable parts to repair these are hard to come by but we currently have a source on most parts but still have to machine some ourselves which is why these take about 90 days plus the fact we have lots of them on order at any given time! You can't get this quality of work at a local mower shop or dealer as it requires an engine rebuild/machine shop with proper equipment and know how.
If you want yours rebuilt, you must send it to us up front but it must be rebuildable ( able to bore cylinders, turn crank, cam and govenor good, no cracks or breaks in block, and seats ok ) For this reason we suggest buying up front and paying core charge so we can send a good replacement block and inspect you core after the sale. Core we just lowered to $350 and refund is based on what we get back.
***********************************************************************************************************************************
All blocks are degreased, acid dipped, blasted, and then hot pressure tank washed several times to remove carbon, dirt, rust, and grease for a clean surface to work on.
Critical gasket surfaces are machined flat for a good seal.
Blocks are bored for a like new fit of pistons and rings and new pistons and rings installed.!. (Just honing a used bore as many shops do will increase piston to wall clearance and will not correct cylinder out of roundness so just honing and re ringing will not seal as well or last nearly as long as boring and installing new pistons and rings with proper clearance)
Valves, guides, and valve seats are all re machined to like new or better specs for a good seal! (just lapping valves and seats will not correct seat and guide or seat and valve misalignment so will last a lot shorter time than re machining)
Camshaft governor assembly is totally reconditioned as many come in broken or ready to break and new cam bearings installed.
Crankshafts are all remachined to factory new specs and a new rods installed
Camshaft and lifters are reconditioned!
Engine is assembled with new pistons, rings, rods, bearings, gaskets , and seals and other reusable parts inspected and replaced as needed!
Engine is coated with heatproof primer and ready for paint
Next we set points on B Series and then set valve clearance
Balance of gaskets are sent with block so you can reassemble oil pan, intake and exhaust manifolds, and oil filter unit ( IF EQUIPPED )
Balance of gaskets are sent with block so you can reassemble head, oil pan, and other items.
We are also now sending some assembly tips as we are finding some people getting engine assembled incorrectly!

(CORES) 6 years ago 4 out of 5 cores returned were not blown up and rebuildable, so we weren't so picky on cores. Now 4 out of 5 are returned to us blown and many greatly damaged as people are waiting longer to fix their problem. Also a greater number are coming back all ready rebuilt or worn to the limit and the cost to resleeve a block or weld a crank back to standard is about 3 times the cost to remachine and rebuild. Our prices are low and are based on having a good rebuildable core returned and that is why we charge a core charge. We pretty much have a set refund rate if items are damaged, a block that needs sleeved or is broken or oil crossover tube is damaged beyond repair is MINUS $95, a crank worn out of machining specs is minus $75. If one seat in block is loose or out and repairable MINUS $50 but if more than 1 is bad block is considered non repairable and is MINUS $95. Our core charge is very reasonable and even if we give nothing back and get a junk block it still costs us much more to replace than we are charging you.
We have had to go to this because we are getting some unbelievable cores back- we've had cranks worn to .050, we had 2 running engines with cylinders worn to almost .060 (must have used a quart of oil an hour), some with blocks cracked in half, 1 had chunks broken out of top of block as they tried to remove broken studs, and many others. We are fair and use a simple rule of thumb, ( If you can take your engine to a shop and they can remachine and rebuild for you to use, you will get your core charge back. Most shops if you take to them and they have to get you a new block or crank you will likely pay $200 to $400 more to them to get you correct usable parts so we are very fair. To avoid any hard feelings we are now inspecting return cores much better and then taking pictures of damaged blocks if customer didn't realize. Most people tell us on phone anymore if they have damage so we are having fewer people get a surprise when they don't get full core refund but we always give customer as much back as we possibly can. And a note that (MOST) running cores sent back receive about 100% core refunds and even about 60% of blown engines do also.
Also note that if you buy a 20 HP we must have a like core returned. You can't take your 16 Hp to a shop and have them rebuild it to a 20 Hp and we can't either.
