Default yes, live and learn

Yes, you get what your pay for is definitely true with mechanical work...I paid Garry/Rodger $1,950 for a junk engine. Cost sevearl thousand dollars this fall to have the engine rebuilt on a new block (his block had two cracks in it, among other problems). This time I had it done locally in the Twin Cities by Car-Vette, an auto restorer in Anoka, MN (Corvette Specialists).
If I would have only gone to them in the first place instead of saving a buck, my credit card balance wouldn't be over 6K right now!
