Two or three members said I messed up. The two that I gave the engines to always say thanks and I hear them mention my name when showing off their running engines. I do not think I will need them and I would just let them lay around for ten more years and they would probably be hauled to the scrap yard by some family member.

Wow, that's great! You didn't "mess up", that's just covetousness talking in those members who didn't get a free engine. A good name (as you are spoken well of by your benefactors) is more precious than gold.
