YES !!! ,,, As Usual Folks ...
We're Only Hearing "One Side of the Story" !!!

ABSOLUTELY !!!
Maybe it is GW that should be worried about a "Law Suit" !!!
Folks,,, It's not too often a seller Accentuates the Negative
at the Expense of the Positive !!!
(It Seems)
A "REBUILT" Engine IS a CHANGE OF SPARK PLUGS TO SOME SELLERS !!!
I ALWAYS TAKE EVERYTHING SAID BY A SELLER
WITH A GRAIN OF SALT !!!
&&& WHEN I DON'T DO THAT ...............
I ALMOST ALWAYS GET (FEEL) SCR@%$^$&%*D !!!!

YMMV .....
And, As Usual, List Members .... :o)
