They later come back in about 20,000 miles with an engine that is sludged up or has bad crank rattle. mechanic blames it on the "modern thin oils" lol.

customer pays for cheap machine job, assy in a dusty environment with slipping tools and returns back in another 20,000 miles for another full overhaul job.
