People have false impressions of what is covered and what is not covered, and how to make a claim. Do NOT assume that if you break something that it will be repaired for free.

i guess that makes sense about the sleeves.

i'm, just thinkin that w/ a crate, all the parts were choosen b/c they kno they will work together. i dont have to worry about choosing parts that really dont match.

I just think that if building a motor ala-cart using my stock block is going to be the same price as buying a new crate motor with NO miles on it that was tested and has a "warranty", im better off doin that.

I kno if anyone knew what to do, you guys would.

what do ppl who dont want a full out race motor do? what is "cheaper" and a better way to spend money?
