Send it to ken!
Im no stranger to a wrench either and was very eager to rebuild mine myself. I NEVER pay another man to do something that i could do/learn from, but the more i thought about it and the more i read on here i realized that if i miss one little thing I'm gonna blow it up and have to start all over, good thing i did because he found at least 5 things that i had overlooked in my disassembly.
Me knowing only what I've read on here compared to his 30+ years of building championship winning engines it was a no brainer. Im getting mine back tomorrow hopefully. nothing like the excitement of getting back a brand new engine with the comfort of knowing it was built by a master.
And just like awk said up there ^ about the OEM stator he's 100% correct, I bought a blaster a few years ago that had the magnets come loose and jam themselves against the stator so i fixed that and bought an rm stator for 50 bucks, damn thing had me baffled for two months, i could start it and it wouldn't rev like the parking brake or the tors was stopping it, but i had both wired correctly, a guy on here told me to put the oem one back in and it fired right up and revved perfectly.
