I had AA rebuild a '75 2.0 about 14 years ago - big mistake. it was almost a year before I finally got it back in the car. When under load it made a horrible clunking sound. Pulled the engine and I could actually rock the crank up and down in the case by grabbing the flywheel and front fan! Apparently nobody bothered to measure the case/bearings. I paid extra for "blueprinting" and balancing! When it arrived it was strpped to a cheap palet - no other protection and one of the valve covers was gone (some moron had used the valve cover bales to secure the strapping!) I know some have no issues with AA but I'd swear unless you know George personally or have something he wants you may as well be dealing with a Nigerian prince who has money to " transfer" out of your wallet. Please do yourself a favor - and stay away! There are plenty of reputable rebuilders on this site that will not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) you.
