I have about 1000 miles on it now and no issues so far.

When I worked at the Naval Shipyard the Shop that I was in rebuilt the Engines for the Navy; mostly Detroit Diesels and we went on the Ships and rebuilt the Engines on the ship if they were too big to remove.
Across the building was another Diesel Shop that rebuilt the Engines for the Mine Sweepers. Not sure why there was 2 shops but we rebuilt the components for their shop including turbocharger, water pumps and oil pumps and Air Starters.
We did some machining of parts. A great practical education but no equipment at home.
