Glad you found an honest one. A few years ago, I decided to "treat" my self since I was so busy with my business. I took an engine from a Oliver 70 to a machine shop that built racing engines. I supplied the pistons and sleves, they supplied the bearings and did all the machine work. After having the engine for over 8 months, and $4000.00 later, I got it back with nothing installed. (governer etc). I was so mad I just let it sit for another 6 mo before reassembling. Tried to time the governer and found that it was way out of time, plus they had punched an additional 3 marks on the crank gear! He claims that they fixed it but I have lost so much intrest it's still sitting in the corner of my shop. Some people are alive simply because it's illegal to kill them! Larry NE IL
