Oh, hahaha, sorry. The asterisk in front of the "simply" was meant to reference some fake fine print. I totally forgot to add that, so congratulations! You've unlocked the hidden fine print!

Also, I totally feel you on the engine replacement woes. I had an engine rebuilt by Jasper on a mid-90s 4-Runner. I was told that this would ultimately be easier, cheaper, and have better warranty than a new engine. It took over 2 years before I could go more than a week before visiting my mechanic with another issue caused by the incredibly invasive procedure. 4 years later, the block cracked and I just took what I could get at auction.
