Subject:      Rebuilt Waterboxer Longevity?(Please read)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


I have been wondering alot lately about the longevity of the rebuilt
waterboxer.  I mean it seems like a rebuilt waterboxer should last as long as
the original engine right?  However lately I have seen alot of evidence to
the contrary.  So I would ask anyone on the list who has a rebuilt waterboxer
engine to please p-mail me with:
1. The name of the rebuilder
2. The length of time since rebuild
3. The amount of miles since rebuild
4. Any problems with the engine after rebuild (head leaks, power problems,
etc).
5.  The amount of money spent on the rebuild and installation
I'll tabulate the results and either post it to the list or to my website.
Just want to know if rebuilding a waterboxer is worth doing or not.
