There may actually be more concerns. I helped quote rebuilding the
engine on The Delta Queen in the late 70's. I'm just about positive that
the material used in the rings of that engine are no longer
available.... heaven knows what else is no longer made here....

Yes, custom rebuilding to original specs can be HUGE bucks.
