Hey ericr,
You are spot on with this statement , IMO and experience ! Most guys do not build engines. Nor do we have the expensive equipment and extensive knowledge necessary to use such. These are reasons why we have to pay such ridiculously high $ to have , what we hope/pray, is high quality end product. Alas, it doesn't exactly work that way, because as customers we put limits on what time the builder spends in time/parts/work. To the ethical builder, time is money also. If you pay enough , you should get what you want (perfection?) but does THAT builder have the skills/ethics to deliver. I just know ONE guy who did deliver for me. However, to your point, I didn't know all that I should have, then, to get what I ultimately wanted....which would have cost more $. Getting experience is expensive
. If I'd only known then , what I know now...would I have spent the extra $
