I helped my brother fix one of those engines on-line.

He's a pretty good handyman, but I'm a licenced automotive and truck mechanic with over 40 years experience.

I directed him how to change a cylinder head, make appropriate repairs through FaceBook and e-mails - he would email me a picture of the engine as he disassembled it, I would advise - from 500 miles away.

He was running on one engine the beginning of the summer, now he's on two - He's a happy man now!
