If someone doesn't have the understanding of a motor before they start modding it they've kinda brought whatever happens to the motor on them selves. Motors can be modded beyond stock and still be reliable. Maintaning the motor is the key. A built motor needs a little more attention then a stock motor. Everyone says a built motor won't idle or they just aren't reliable. I own a hot little 40hp rude I built myself and it starts and idles better then a stock and hasn't left me stranded (knock on wood) for the past 3 years. Stock motor will last longer but not every built motor is junk. Strong motors can be built but people should do there own research and understand what every mod does and what that mod will effect. Not just your motor but others too. Just because it worked on this motor doesn't mean it will help yours.  Modding a motor isn't for everyone but it doesn't have to be a certified mechanic to mod them. Not tryin to bash you guys either.</blockquote>
