Message	i pulled the motor twice in the past year, and have to do it again. SGP built my last time. and i had less than 2000 miles on it. 1/2 which were break in miles. and when i changed oil there were brass shavings in the oil and a strange bottem end noise. pisses me off bad. good luck i'll drink with you any time.
