RECON, out of Philly, supplier to Advanced auto parts, is owned by JASPER.

Got a 300ci from them 7 or 8 years ago.

Ran it up past sane levels after the first 3 weeks to see if the motor would hold together or blow before the 1 year warranty was over.

As I said, that was long ago, got one lifter ticking.

Just my 2 pennies worth
