after my issues with my '05 thrust bearing failure, i have to repower...starting to look at options (honda/yammi/verado) the lack of the abilty to deal with the internals of my engine lead me away from honda (honda doesn't offer a small block at least in Canada) (mercury i could have one the next day.....) honda doesn't offer me the abilty to have my crank machined because they don't offer oversized bearings.... at this point it is coming down to price and warranty and service......I know this is a honda forum but convince me why I should stay in the Honda camp.....
