While assiduously avoiding a judgment call, at some point we leave the realm of protecting the motor and enter the realm of protecting the owner. Where that is for each of us is different. All of the paths discussed lead to a motor that will likely outlast all of us. Virtually every moving piece of my motor that could be acquired in forged form was purchased that way. Do I need it? Absolutely no way. Almost ridiculous. It wasn't about the motor--it was about me.
