I can't provide you with much of a place to stay though because I'm totally re-modeling my house right now.

Seeing a thrust bearing fail like that makes me wonder if it was bolted to a manual tranny with a real agressive driver/clutch. The mileage was pretty low though so who knows. Wasn't it an ebay motor?

Anyway, where will it be assemble at? I want to see all go down.

Didn't you just buy that house???

Yeah, but now it's gutted like a Honda.

I need to make the house mine if you know what I mean, and I'm debating on whether or not I should flip it in a couple years. It depends on the market and how sick of it I get.

Back to the issue: Criss' will vat or hot tank it for sure. As for magnafluxing its up to them, but they should do it to cover their ***. I mean if there was a crack, they didn't see it and then 500 miles down the road something breaks, it's their rep on the line. Word travels fast around this town.
