Based on what I have researched, I would not want a factory reman engine.

Especially true after reading the article and comments posted by Jake Raby of www.flat6innovations.com. Why spend good money on another engine that's going to have the same problems as the one that just broke?

There have been some great discussions on this topic since Jim Pasha's tech article appeared in the Dec Excellence. I highly recommend you get a copy and have a look at some of the recent postings.

I know, good point, I have been following the discussion about Jake's engine rebuild program with great interest. Like most, I am very glad that he is providing us with an option. I would love to get one of his 3.6L performance engines, but am not sure how I could come up witht 17K+ it would cost, thats a lot of money for this camper....
