Oof, I=E2=80=99ve seen that before IRL not just a picture. The worst =
ever was an engine from a Jag 420 (a genuine piece O=E2=80=99 crap =
except for the lovely dashboard). The engine was running, but when I =
took it apart the crank came out in six pieces. The transmission made =
the engine look primo. I guess it=E2=80=99s buyer beware when you buy a =
Jag for 1000 bux.=20
