Teague motors
Anyone have experience with Teague 620 or 720 HP carbureted engines ? I'm curious what kind of idle quality and life expectancy one might expect from these engines. How many hours before top end overhaul, etc.
Teague seems to have a very good name in the industry but here on the east side of America there aren't many Teague engines around.
Considering Mercury Racing uses blowers to get 600 and 700 hp and Teague does not, there have to be trade offs somewhere.

The only trade off is money.
All the Teague stuff is top shelf, from the raw engine parts to the accessories, to the wiring looms, and the guys there are great.
All the stuff idles like kittens and makes the power he claims.
Engines come complete ready to install minus tails- clean, easy.
all the stuff works and is no BS.
+ the guy (Bob) has ALWAYS been cool to me, and he honors his warranties.
If I were to guess based on what I hear, and the ones I get to drive- the life on those mills...the high hundreds of hours with basic maintenance, top end job in the low-mid hundreds.
Like I said the only trade off is money- good stuff aint cheap, and cheap stuff aint good.
