Hi John,

I think this might be why Ben encounters more $$$ issues with the
aircooled crowd. People who don't know better abuse those engines,
and even the ones who do know better can wind up with a GEX in their
van. Planned upgrades are a lot less common running an aircooled
engine. They either run well, or they break a lot.


Happy Trails,
