I'm not sure which part more sad Waterloo;
1) the fact that the fuel pumps destroy these motors so prematurely
...or...
2) that no matter how much you warn guys, and even show them the testimonials, they won't believe or listen to you

I know, amazes me too... I have met a few guys with these motors, and politely, NOT in a know it all manner, tell them about these pumps. Most common reply, it is under warranty, along with some of the oddest looks, like I am the one with the problem for pointing this out. Now, I just keep my yap shut, screw them.
