Thanks for the offer Alan, I'll give you a call later today to discuss.

The used engines I'm just looking to see if they still have pinch, compression, and can be tuned/have air leaks. I have extra 1/10 & 1/8 chassis available to bolt them to, add clutchbells, and test them but the sheer amount of wrenching I'm looking at to do that makes my head hurt.
Thanks for all the tips/suggestions. Looks like it's either Hudy or Macgyver-action if I want to do this myself.
