A few months ago I contacted LPE Power about creating a custom built engine for me. I wanted to get an inline 4 built in yellow to power a bulldozer model I was building. I could not have been happier with the results. At first, I was a little hesitant about the cost, but after receiving my engine, I can assure you that it was well worth the money.
Here is why I think that the value I received from the engine justified the cost.
first, I have built my own LPEs. I started off using the old nicjanso plans, and then took to copying the LPE power engines (just by looking at the photos) with success. I add this information into the testimonial, to make a point. I can make LPEs on my own. It is not an inability to make a working engine that led me to purchase one from LPE power, it was the desire to have an engine that was produced with a quality that was beyond what I could produce. It is not that I consider my own work 'low quality'; my engines worked ok, but there were always issues that bothered me with them. One, the cylinders and switches were never truly consistent. I suppose the pressure imbalances and minor differences in the switches make for a more realisitc sound.. if you have an old beater of a car. I grew tired of my engines shaking themselves apart at high revs and generallly running rough.
