It's easy....

Pay the laborors $30.00 a month,

Flood the market to drive the others out...

Once you own the market, raise the price to OEM Mahle or Kolbenschmidt prices for the same crap.....

In the past week I have had three people give up on these sets due to uncontrollable oil consumption as well as head/cylinder sealing issues.

I solved their problems.
