Shortly after I got the engine I posted to the list that I suspected that
my engine too was made up of two different case halfs.  When I called GEX
about it they feigned ignorance about it; in fact, as I recall, they
pretty much expressly denied it.  Now I'm not so sure.  At some point
I'll post my findings about this engine.
