By doing this, you're buying into the concept that new is better than 
old. If you could still buy OE quality stuff, you'd be right, but in 
many cases the new parts you'll be installing will probably be of 
poorer quality than the old used parts you're throwing away.

You seem to have your mind made up that it's pointless to try to 
understand the problem before you apply your solution. I sincerely 
hope you don't regret this.
