There you go ^^^
Personally I never had any problems with my Dale but I tore it down anyways to have stage 8 and a Z bearing and while the motor was already out, had it stroked, new valves and springs and a couple more goodies coming up too. Unfortunatley Falicon fell on thier face back when I originally pulled my motor, so instead of two weeks I ended up waiting 6 months and in the end with a Timbo stroker. You never really know with these machines, to be honest I think I could have run my machine the way it was for a while with no problems and not be out of a year + riding like I am now, but it wasnt worth it to me to risk all the money I had ALREADY put into it in other stuff besides my motor, and then have the motor go on me and be up Sh1ts creek. At the very least I would say do the stage 8, motor mount, and z bearing, at least then you can rest easy and only be out a few hundred. If you have the extra flow and time, I would say go the whole nine yards and get the crank and valves/springs too while everything is readily available so you dont end up in a situation like I had, lack of available parts. All in all I am very happy that things ended up working out and I will always still trust Doug without a doubt when it comes to my dale.

I'm in the same situation as CdaleChick, my motor has better than 200 hrs on it. Its an early 02 with a cable clutch with NO updates besides the front motor mount. I burned up a clutch two weeks ago and noticed the timing chain is on the loose side. I'm going to pull her down and biuld it back with a new billet crank with a Z-400 bearing. The only mod I did on the motor was advance the cams. And thats the best mod I could suggest you do, huge increase on the bottom and it takes A LOT to hit the rev limiter. Wistech is the man to talk to about that. I ended up riding mine about a year just the it was when I bought it, now I have the money and the parts are tested and trued, so I think I'm going to biuld it back to new. Besides, I cant wait to see what a 200 hr crank looks like, its going to be a lot of fun biulding this motor.
