I think if any vendor wants to make some good money, they would come out with brand new blocks/cranks/rods or complete off the shelf motors and not expect to get there R/D money back in a year..........anotherwords sell them at a reasonable cost where people could afford to buy 2 and keep one as a spare..........but that ain't going to happen!
As far as the cranks go, maybe Eagle needs a middle man........ a competent machine shop to get these cranks to be a true bolt in deal.........There's an idea for someone!
Then all cranks would be bought from that particular shop (at an increased cost of course) and they would warrenty it for machine work.
