I didn't know if they would be able to correctly rebuild an rodbender or not.
Their price is what I remember Marshall said that a factory motor was going for.
Thanks

I do believe (could be wrong though) that the venerable Dr. Booth
stated that Metric motors were good for 617 engine rebuilds, but that
even their rebuilds of the 603.971 (rod bender) engines didn't last.
Only a factory rebuild was acceptable.

factory or if their engines would rodbend as well.
