Yeah he is, I spent about an hour with him down there when i Flew down to do a compression and leakdown test on an Evo 4. I actually spent a few days on the phone with him exchanging info and not once did he hesitate to help...he was even climbing thru his evo 6 track car to find me a piece of rubber I needed..!!
Id love to have someone like that around the corner from me...your motor should be a good bit of gear now!!
