Know that you are not alone in your situation and what you have experienced. I will say that at your age and experience(mechanical)...that you should recognize the smell/sound of BS...and walked ! Sorry to learn that another rip off has occurred. This 'rebuilder' should be taken to task and at the very least, if true, you should let others know who it is , so that they may not have same bad experience.

Iowa really isn't that close to Idaho.


There are reputable engine builders here too.

By not being specific about your location in Idaho, you cast a shadow on all the engine builders here.

I had my engine rebuilt and it runs beautifully.

The machinist even drove across the valley to be here for the first start.
