Like I said, there are no hard feelings at all.  And thanks again for your
sweat in getting the motor to me in time to make that trip.  I kind of
expected something like this, and I guess I'm learning more about my Westy
than ever before since I'm doing the repairs myself this time.

At least I've learned that GEX's quality standards don't change across time
or engine platforms :-)
