I don't need others to agree with me for validation. That's not how I'm built.

Here's another example. Let's say you walked into a dealership in the last few years and bought a brand new car. For this example we'll say it's a Honda. A very reliable car, which I didn't build and for which I just wrote a check. I know nothing about cars, but some time later, the air bags when inflated threw metal objects at the occupant(s). We'll call the air bag manufacturer Takata.

Putting aside the fact that manufacturers likely knew of the problem prior to the sale to a consumer, do you think someone should fix the car? Or after 39 miles, the warranty is void? And as a consumer, who just wrote a check for the Honda with the defective airbag and doesn't know a thing about building it, do you think I'm owed some sort of restitution even though I'm not a car builder?

Now granted, a Cammer is not a Honda engine, but not only is my engine still running, there are quite a few members here with "race" engines that are still running, including Rodney's dual Paxton supercharged FE. Built by the same engine builder as my engine BTW.

40 miles is a bad joke IMO.
