71 I will try to say something constructive here like most did. I only do mechanical for myself and some friends. I always push the low cost option that will get the job done. After all, that is the way I go thru this world and I am not making a dime on the work I do for friends (who always return a favor one way or tuther) Something to think about down the road. After completing a job i always have the owner run it around while at my place or if a small engine take it to them and we run it up together. It never comes back with it was that way when I got it - or hasn't yet. If it ran great for you I would be suspicious of what happened to it. Who knows. As you go on in life and you continue to do mechanical you might consider the "lets try her out and see what you think" approach before it goes down the road. I have a friend that will overhaul motors (autos with underneath filters)and when he paints them he will always get some overspray on the oil filter. I asked him one day about his "sloppy" paint job. He smiled and said that if it comes back ragged out and the filter has the overspray on it, the owner is not in for any help at all. Anyway, hope it works out.
