<VV> Engine Rebuilding

[Michael]

One of the problems is engine age. Do I want to rebuild an engine with 
50 year old seats, does the customer want to pay for all new seats and 
guides?
  Can I offer a warranty on old metal, do I know what happens to this 
engine the moment it leaves my shop?...these are all variables, and all 
of us who
offer this service have been burned at one time or another. Thrown 
belts, bad timing, air leaks...etc. alll of these lead to overheating 
and failure.
After 75 engine rebuilds, I'm pretty much through except for special 
cases.

Regards,
Mike McCrae
