Nice... My friends have said that they would commit me if got one of those but sooner or later a deal like that is probably going to happen! What year is it and how much if you dont mind me asking?

However you mention bent rod and four valves and that would be more like a dropped valved that knocked that hole in there which could have been a problem with the top end. Other...

Motoman makes allot of sense... and tho it goes against instinct that is how most of my builds get treated. I have literally barely warmed a motor up in the garage for five minutes taken it up and down a quarter mile or less driveway, loaded it in the trailer and taken it to the dunes where even a m...

There must have been some twisting tension on it and the heat helped to relieve and set it like that... to my knowledge they do not come like that.
You were way overdue for a replacement!

How is it that you have "many parts available" when you told me quite clearly in regard everything that you had left over...<br />Jun 7 2012, 12:17 PM<br />"Yep there on their way"<br /><br />Specifically in regard to...May 13 2012, 09:08 PM<br />"I've got a bunch of lef...
