Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It's not optimal, yet if nothing is set up, I don't see where that would be a problem. I'd rather throw the dice on a new engine run and drained, than a used engine someone lists as "running well".

Man, if I had the money, I would grab it, but I don't, so I won't, Ed
