The fact is most banshee owners are cheap. Very rarely do I see a motor that doesn't need everything, all these engines are very old, very worn out, unmaintained, abused everytime you get on it. Cam hit the nail on the head with motor assembly, it takes a long time to do it correctly not just bolting it together. Every motor I build looks brand new when you get it back and it doesn't happen by accident. Case prep n glass bead/ hot tank wash takes me 4 hrs alone . If you actually looked at the hours spent vs the 300 for assembly I would make $10 an hour . I do it because I love it. My prices are a lil bit more than most but you can eat off your motor when I'm done. Unfortunately people see $ not quality of work. I don't envy cam or Jeff at all , I'm in a unique position because it's not how I feed my family and can spend a lil mor time on it than most and can tell people to kick rocks if there being assholes. I'm very good friends with Jeff and talk to cam frequently both build great engines and are worth the wait
