[DMCForum] Re: Eagle Premier PRV.

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

I've thought about a rebuilt PRV, but I have serious concerns about 
the quality of work, seeing as how the PRV isn't a conventional 
engine. I worry that my cash may just be thrown out the window, if 
they screw it up. And my concerns are really rebuffed on this, after 
I can't find anyone online who sells rebuilt PRV engines.

At this point, I'd rather do either a swap, or piecemeal one together.
