Sox,
Yep, it's not real fun is it?? But that is EXACTLY what this forum/thread is for... yeah, "you made it right" I guess... but it sounds like a comprimise at best. I would not jump on your righteous high-horse too soon. Lets not foget that the motor has to be tore down, checked out, tolerances need to be right, etc... I believe you said it had K/B pistons too... not to mention that there are a few other things that were not as your ad read.
So go on & be irritated with me, rapter, harbone, kw, etc... say we are "judging you." The only "Dead Horse" beat around here is the motor you sold.
