Yes, and the engines were virtually worthless- - - - -Sears sold the junk stuff that serious rebuilders would reject. Most of the Sears rebuilds I remember seeing were bored 60 or sometimes even 80 thousandths oversize, and the crankshafts were usually 30/30 regrinds. Sears didn't actually build their own engines- - - -they used whatever low-bid contract rebuilder gave then the best price on high-volume orders. J.C. Whitney was another place that sold low-quality "remanufactured" engines.
