Call it a refresh? Why not call every motor not built with new irons, housings, rotors, bearings, gears, pumps, bla bla bla all refreshed motors? If its not new, its used, if it is used it is being rebuilt. Right?

Pineapple, fd3s, you , me, atkins.... no one is selling brand new zero mile motors to people for.. well ok, there are a few high end places mazdatrix, rb, ect, but how many people here have bought a 45k turn key 20b or a 14k rew? I doubt many if any.
So all the shops in the usa are doing the same thing.. with the same kit. and that same procedures.... So i cannot do what they can for 1500? Why? Pineapple racing is full of shit, they do not use new housings with each build, i have torn down several of their motors new and used and they fucking bs like every shop in the world does. upsales and product name drops. Its all about the face and no one will question it.
There is no college here for this, no online certification, no regulation. I watch these shops fuck people over and i am not interested in that anymore. I'm going to at least help those who are smart enough to help themselves
So yeah again i will state this clear as day... I can do, i do it and will continue to build motors for 1500$ using the same seal kits, the same tools and the same knowledge as the shops surrounding me. I'm sorry it is what it is. However hating that i am doing this or just not wanting to believe it does not change that i have been and i am.
