Thanks! Yeah, I'd love to hear if it turns out well. I'm about 3.5 hour drive from there. Bought my car not far from there in Oregon City.

Well what they're selling here isn't just any old part, it's a a full short block. If they get a pattern of fails it's going to blow back on them. They must have some confidence in this?
