Any recycler selling quality merchandise installs heat tabs which indicate if you cook the motor with improper cooling so they can void the warranty--where are they in the photos?

Don't be sorry for pointing something like this out to everybody. I almost bid myself for the spare parts and just to have it to tear down/apart and learn from. Somebody out east could pick it up or get cheaper shipping and maybe do well.

These guys are a real company. I've purchased something from them in the past, maybe an ECU - just can't remember what.

if you think about it... shipping is prolly around $100+ for that thing, plus the winning bid which was like $40. So $200 for a motor shipped doesnt seem like a scam to me!
... then again it has 107k on it and probably hasnt started in god knows how long, lol
