Hay bud, that's all on you. Some still use cork, some don't. I never will again, unless there's no other option. And again, "we" are not responsible for how "you" read something. You asked for help, remember? You were given good recommendations. You went a different way and that's fine. It's your engine and your money and your decision. If you want to not have fun anymore, don't try to blame that on others too, because that's your deal, not anybody else's. You were given good advice. It's no one's job to explain every little detail to you when you haven't asked.
