I'm not completely against naming the engine, but I didn't want to do so in
my original comment because I wasn't trying to make a point about that
engine at that time (we were talking about cost), and any point I would make
about it would have to have all the necessary context to make it a fair
comment.

Well, I didn't take it _that_ badly, but you did effectively accuse me of
cheating everyone here out of something, which I don't think was very fair.
A more gentle approach wouldn't have hurt.

As for when we picked the engine, well, I wasn't there when it was bought,
and my heart sunk after looking at it for a few hours because I could
already see some of the problems we would have with it. But yes, I would
have been happy if someone had told the guys who did choose it about the
flaws before they parted with the cash.
