Did you know that WCBR builds its own Rover engines?

West Coast British Racing is known all across North America for its racing motorcycle engines… Win after Win after Win, and Championship after Championship, WCBR knows how to get the job done, whether it’s Road Racing, Motocross or Trials, WCBR comes out on top! This same winning way goes into every Rover engine we build...

West Coast British/WCBR  has been building and re-building engines for Land Rovers since we opened in April of 1981, it’s one of our specialties. How many other LAND-ROVER shops can claim they are “Factory trained”?  We surely can, and not just on one engine, but all of these:  2.0 Litre petrol & diesel;  2.25 Litre petrol & diesel;  and the awesome Rover V8.

Unlike other companies, we don’t sell engines built elsewhere. Our ONLY exception to the rule is a new Genuine LAND-ROVER replacement engine.

At West Coast British/WCBR our engines speak for themselves…
Maybe your engine is down on power and needs freshening up?
You’ve been told you have a leaking or blown head gaskets?
You’re seeking someone who can overhaul the original engine in your restoration project?
You’re seeking more power from the original engine?
No matter which LAND-ROVER you own, we can take care of you and your LAND-ROVER.

Cylinder head rebuilding (includes up-dating old engines to run on unleaded fuels).
