I've had 3 of their air-cooled rebuilds (one I even bought direct from
GEX), and they have been a sorry excuse for workmanship.  The main problems
have been oil starvation caused by blocked passages.  They seem to have a
problem cleaning up the cases before assembly.

Get your engine from Boston Bob.  No complaints from anyone on the list,
you get what you pay for, and with his you get more.
