I used these when I first built my car. One of them was leaky brand new out of the package and I didn't know it until I hydro-locked one of my cylinders with fuel. I then tried to crank the engine which resulted in breaking off multiple teeth on the flywheel and destroying the starter.
Had to pull the transmission and replace the flywheel/starter due to these things. I was lucky I didn't bend a rod. However the company that I bought from on eBay did send a new one to me without seeing the old one first. Didn't have any problems with them after that.
Moral of the story: get them checked if you buy them! Even if they're new.
