Okay, everyone here is being very unprofessional, not only the shop owners but forum members too.

Mr. Raby does have a habit of over dramatizing things about these cars, but there is evidence behind all of the modes of failure. He is skilled and gets good reviews often, not to mention those of us here at the forum really appreciate how often he posts and interacts. Rather than saying he can not "drop to our level" to pm us.

Now both products are likely of good quality based on the reviews of others. But the products aside it looks bad on all parties involved when you belittle each other infront of your small niche target market. Essentially creating a PR nightmare for the lot of those involved.

Charges and prices aside, raby built cars are essentially american RUFs at this point with the respect that he has for his knowledge and the figures these rebuilt engines can produce. Is it a smart investment though, that's up to you, I know I would never buy a 70k ruf 3400 s when I could do a swap in a roller for much less. However some people are interested in these rebuilds so let them be.

Essentially all involved at this point are only digging graves for themselves.

Wow, I just looked up that bearing. I wish I would have known I could have purchased one from amazon for $5.91. The $5.99 shipping charge is a little steep though.
