If cheap, think VW. Also common practise. Once rebuilt the engine in a 
Westy. Afterwards every time it dropped to 30 degrees (was living in Texas 
then) the engine would crank fine, run for 30 seconds , and freeze solid. 
Would winch into garage and go through it. Third time the shop was convined 
I'd screwed it up each time but on measuring they found the center main 
bearing .002 off center. Somehow the align bore process (back at the 
original rebuild) had an "oops".
