Yep, I=E2=80=99m in the same boat you are.  Wishbone has provided great =

the internet is loaded with similar stories to yours, and I=E2=80=99ve =

My advice to anyone would be that there=E2=80=99s a risk in ordering =
anything custom or sending in parts/engines for rebuilding.  Ordering =
off the website, probably ok if you don=E2=80=99t need technical =
