That I can't recall exactly when I read the article way back. So I'm basing it on that. So maybe I'm out of place. The article could of been old to think of it. I'll look for it. You are correct for the upmost. I'll look for it.

EDIT: there's no solid info besides old timers claiming there JB have lasted as long as there motors and being cheaper to rebuild. So BB FTW.
