I have to give you that point. Reminds me of a friend that had his Supra motor rebuilt only to have issues and had to have it rebuilt a second time.
That being said I am fortunate enough to know a couple of shops that care about the work they do, have the knowledge, and will put in the time, effort, and parts to do it right.
Still even if you know a shop that will do it right no one wants to spend the money to rebuild an engine due to an issue. Not a fun way to spend money.
