JustPaus_88TSi Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Any reason why you guys didn't oring the block instead? I mean, if something happens, the head is more likely to fail and bam there goes $1500+ down the drain. I know if the head is gonna fail, then it's gonna fail, but you could at least save the O-ringing cost. Can't wait to see this beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie_Rich Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Yeah, but it's guys like you that give the rest of us hope. The more people know the potential of our engines, the more business for the builders. There are people with money out there. If they think our engines are crap, they will throw their dough into some other car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
