Lol, too true. Apparently at one time GEX did a pretty good job at
rebuilding engines (according to my trusty mechanic), but then the owner got
greedy and started putting out junk. I can testify to this later point. I
bought a rebuilt GEX a few years ago 'cause I was poor and they were cheaper
than the rest and I have had nothing but problems with it. Now I'm looking
at rebuilding it with less than 6k miles put on it >( FWIW

By reputation, you are either running on borrowed time or you have aquired
the only example of a decent GEX engine known to mankind.
