Re: [T3] more on the motor swap


<x-flowed>let me see if i can remember correctly, (puts coin in the way back machine)...
- i remember finding the wrong bearings in the motor for the case machining
no pressure relief valves in one of the motors the case! 1 rod different than the other 3
and the last one had no oil pressure... found parts of a shop rag in it!


i can't be certain that operator error wasn't to blame in any of them, but the bearings and the rod issues were definitely builder related.
