Crash, I was somewhat kidding about your setting up a TS export biz but if you did you'd be doing a lot of folks a big favor and perhaps make a few bucks/pounds doing so.
Regarding 'our' rebuilding the TS before installing, I think perhaps there's somewhat of a kneejerk reaction to those of us in the US. The assumption being that if the engine was good it wouldn't be in a junk/salvage yard. Americans are notorious for not taking care of their cars, especially the engines (out of sight, out of mind) - though doubt if that applies to members of the ABB.
I gather the TS' are pretty bullet proof, but picking up a few 'not so perfect' engines to break for spare parts might also be a good idea. This is all assuming you have a ready source for the engines and are willing to ship anywhere. I gather the standard set-up is to put two engines on a pallet. The person on the other end either wants a spare or sells the other to help pay for his.
If my shop was considerly larger I'd be willing to be the 'West Coast' distributor.
