On the other hand, if you get a strong, well built engine then your engine builder is "God's Gift to Engine Building." I have friends on this forum that bash my engine builder (I think he did a really good job; not perfect, but really good), and, likewise, I hear bashing on Keith, Barry, and Lykins as well -- and they're all up there at the top, IMO. You just can't build a lot of engines without pissing people off from time to time. Or getting fed up, for that matter -- look at Keith, he seems like he his ready to just throw the towel in because he's sick of the jerks that he has to deal with. Take it all with a grain of salt.
