What is your take on rebuilt crate motors

I was looking around on ebay and found quite a few rebuilt crate motors. They are going for good prices but, I am not sure of the quality and reliability. Anybody have some opinions???????

When I was shopping for a crate engine to replace my 305 I ended getting going with Jasper due to issues of quality and credibility(having a 1 yr. was warrenty was nice). Unless you really know your stuff, or have a friend who does, I'd recommend getting an engine from a solid company or shop. That way if you have problems or get swindled you have somebody to go to.
