thats true anything can happen. But I'd still rather have the higher quality part.

One thing we have learned is that even the people held in high regard on this board are not infallible though.

Alot of it depends on who you are

No digs at anyone in particular, and to be honest I don't know who built your motor. But I know of several cases from some of the leading "builders" on this board that the problem was simply shoddy workmanship.

Give us a call back and ask for Dustin if you need any help or have any questions. Good luck with it. Bob
