The machinist who built my engine told me the only reason he was doing it was because I was over 40.

I assure you there there are good machinists out there who will gladly take an 18 year old's money, so he isn't really helping anyone except getting some virtue signaling out of it.

I'm sure there are. My machinist did a good job, the engine is a bad mofo sleeper and just what I wanted :-)

I assume “money” was also a reason?

No. Though he knew I could pay for it because the parts I brought in were expensive ones, and of course he wouldn't give me the result if I didn't pay.
