He just spent $3,000 at a dealer. Look at the rod, ever hear of "hot shot"?

The cartridge plate bolts were all loose, full of silicon like the rest of the motor. It had "hot shot" stamped on the rod, but it's locked up TIGHT! Cam lobs and bearing show signs of heat and wear, oil passages are clogged with: you guessed it red silicone!

Every one knows BLUE silicon is faster. The Groving on the Piston is for what? Less surface area on the piston for faster revs?
