It's a shame that bad news travel so fast when there are so many variables in performance motors. I would buy it and have it fixed if I didn't have so many motors already. I have a hemi built by Muscle motor and a wedge built by Best machine and a couple of others that are all good motors. Things can happen to any of these motor due to the variables. Most the time with any of these reputable builder they are fine when the leave. I would sure HATE to be a builder and have somebody put a motor in their car with the issues that can arise like oil, filter, timing, fuel, fuel systems, crank thrust from spacing the convertor wrong and so on!
