Terry, you are correct on all aspects of your comparison. There is no doubt in my mind that your cylinder block is a much superior piece when compared to a used, original cylinder block. I doubt you will find anyone that would say your product is not a value at the $4k price-point.


The point I was making is when someone has a budget of $5k to receive a fully machined engine vs. using your engine kit, I doubt that any machine shop can produce a turn-key engine utilizing all of your components, and then add in the costs of the items I listed above in a refurbished condition, -then still do the assembly work and be within the $5k budget.
