Loads.Make sure they have a perfect cooling system, regular oil changes and clean filters and they will be as good as anything else!

Yep, ours blew the cam off the head and broke the rockers too. Was a pretty easy fix tho.

Put it this way, if you don't you do so at your financial peril, good replacement engines that you can just throw in are getting rarer every day and naturally rebuilds cost more than what the rest of the vehicle is worth. They need to be checked out properly and not bought sight unseen off here. Do NOT buy examples that smoke, fume excessively from the oil filler cap, are hard to start either hot or cold or run rough afterwards, or have dirty cooling systems.Gotta have a laugh at the above whinging about broken cambelts and rockers, amazingly enough that problem doesn't exist if you change the belt, balance belt and tensioners etc when they are due, and don't let oil leaks get to the point where they contaminate the belt.

But that would mean servicing it right!

Umm yeah in a nutshell. Some peoples idea of service is an oil and filter change when they get round to it, in fact some people think that a wof is a service.
