My previous post was a warning meant for someone looking to get an ISX built the right way and how difficult it is getting to find anyone decent any more (because I missed that it was not an ISX). It being a different engine, same idea of being hard to find anyone trustworthy still applies, though the procedures that I mentioned about the ISX would obviously be different for a different model engine.

Just getting the word across that am person any more simply can't trust most places. Older mechanics seem to have too many bad habits, are air-gun happy, barely use a damn torque-wrench when putting things back together, and newer mechanics are seriously under-trained. This, even thought they all seem to talk a good game. That is what I am getting at is all.

Mr. 'wildpib' here on the forum says to me once these wise words (quoting roughly from memory here) ...

The reason why is that in ancient times when there were, ... the master would teach the student based on the kung-foo book of knowledge.

To prevent the student from turning on his master, the master would leave out one special kung-foo move to protect himself, tearing the page from the book and hiding it away forever.

Then eventually the student becomes the new master, and the cycle repeats.

After many generations of masters and students ... eventually there became no more book.
