Reading these threads reminds of when I did a lot of work on the side,99.9% of all people I did work for loved my perfectionism and attention to detail.Then came that day when doing a job on a dirt bike for a friends teenage son (a wild kid at that).The bike had been literally beat into the ground.All I was to do was rebuild the two stroke motor,discovering how bad the rest of the bike was told the Dad he said make it safe.The kid complained about the bill then again literally beat the bike into the weeds.When it failed again the Dad wondered why.For me it was nearing the end doing work for people.Some you will never please.
There will always be two sides to every story,without knowing all the facts a judgement cannot be passed down.
In the end found it much more satisfying to do all my own work.Only people to blame then are the ones doing the work or parts breakage.Remember all things mechanical will breakdown.Good Luck with your 460 it is a great Cobra motor
