    Sadly a lot of motors will suddenly be for sale.

    Pay a GOOD mechanic to go with you to check out any " great bargain ". The odds against finding a good one. 1 out of 50 thousand. Do not buy used or dealer new. They have flooded new motors to sell also. Life can be very cruel sometimes. Good luck to everyone.
