Turk- I'm glad you disagree, because there can't be one "right" reason for everyone. I live in southern california where there are numerous engine builders, many who know FE engines in and out. I'm sure George is very knowledgeable, but unless he gave me an unbelieveable price to build an engine, which also compensated for shipping, I wouldn't have him do mine. If I were to have a long distance engine builder, I would do exactly what you did, fly out and visit and talk with him. To me, that goes a long way to determine ones character. Obviously, George's character seems very much intact.

Thanks,

Ron
