The motor in Berry's FD wasn't blown either. The compression was a bit low on it, but she decided that she would rather have a fresh motor in the car, so she rebuilt it. It's not like it costs all that much.

there's the type of people that blow their **** up because the air is too hot and they didn't tune for it, the type that blosw their **** up in the winter because the air's too cold and they didn't tune for it, then the overheaters.

and then the paranoids that get the engine rebuilt because they think it will add reliability.

EXACTLY... I couldn't have say it better myself.

But whos to blame? The tech. knows it's not blown, but if the customer shows cash, then who gives a damn.

That's why you go LS1. PROBLEM SOLVE...
