Huh. Go figure.  :)

Still an attractive price. I too hate buying used engines. Even though the
2.0 is common, and cheap used, it's still a used engine. My first
preference, as was advised to me via more knowledgable people here, was to
get a donor. I may do that for my next swap.

or (drool):  http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/ptd/3195360356.html

But that's just me. Both would require lots of my hours. Bostig: far less.
Suby kit: likely less.

Time is money, money is time.
