TIA

I've had 3 of their air-cooled rebuilds (one I even bought = direct from GEX), and they have been a sorry excuse for workmanship.  = The main problems have been oil starvation caused by blocked passages.  = They seem to have a problem cleaning up the cases before assembly.

Get your engine from Boston Bob.  No complaints from anyone = on the list, you get what you pay for, and with his you get more.
