    We all fix things differently, and opinions vary in numbers equivalent to as many a$$holes are out there, so bottom line is that I’m super happy you fixed this in a way that worked for you. Ultimately I felt you were going to trash a potentially good motor. I’m happy you didn’t trash it just...
