Anybody have experience with rotarywarehouse.com?

I'm getting my engine rebuilt in a month and i think i'll get it rebuilt from them. They're in my price range and Scott( the guy who rebuilds the engines) seems to have very good experience. He also does porting by hand. So, has anybody ordered from them and if so, what do you think of them???

i got a 12a ported from them
got about 1500 miles on it and it runs great
good shipping but they take a long! time
they told me it would take about a month to build the motor but it turned out to be about three months
what do u expect for one guy building motors
the fact that the buyer has to pay core charge shipping baffled me aswell
shipping is 250 dollars and the core charge is 250 dollars so its easier just to keep your old motor for parts

They look like a pretty promising site and i talked to scott and he said it takes him 5 days to build a engine, but it depends how busy is his. Plus, they're not that expensive and it seems like he has a lot of experience.

In my experience most of these small shops your looking at at least a month by the time you ship and get it back. In most cases 6 weeks would be good.
