CEF11E Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 have not heard of them but sounds like a good service. the engines here cost $200 complete so i guess once you factor in labor, packing and administration its a very reasonable solution.

felixy69 Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 well for me ..who lives across the world. and in Canada we don't have RB30. paying $500 isn't really for the motor, it is for his SERVICE in FINDING. PACKING, SHIPPING which i think is worth it !!
