Well, if we're counting pennies, I suppose I'll correct myself and say that I've built 4, starting on #5. Under my belt, a 425W, a 428FE, a 355SBC, and a 445W. I'm starting on a 408C. Again, I'll reiterate that I'm not a professional engine builder, but I do quite well for myself and I can get down and talk nitty-gritty if the situation arises.

However, I don't see this being a numbers game. I'm a horrible golf player, but if I hit 5000 golf balls, I'd just be a horrible golf player with a sore arm.

For one thing, I wasn't slandering anyone, or attempting to commit deformation of character, so please don't threaten me in that fashion.

Someone asked about your products, so I gave my side of the story. To me, that's consumer awareness, something that we do everyday....i.e... "Would you buy gas from the gas station down the street? No, it's got water in it." I'm just stating facts, and again, they are facts, no opinions, no assumptions, no gossip.

Again, I didn't say you were dishonest or a bad person, I'm just stating my experiences. Yes, you made it right, but just because you made it right doesn't make the cracks in the block seal up and cylinders get thicker. If you'll notice, I even made some comments during the very beginning of this thread, that my experiences were some 3 years ago and things may have changed.

I agree, it's not good for either one of us to sit here and spin our wheels, but my opinion stands, and my testimony stands.
