Well, I pulled the B7 today... tore it apart to see how the breakin went. So far, so good! Here's some photos...

1. I was impressed with the husky con rod and the turbo cut crank. I believe that there's more meat here than in my .28 engines. Will have to measure the parts to be sure...

2. Nice machine work in the block. They went to a lot of trouble to make sure that things are set up for maximum efficiency with the fuel flow in the block.

3. Measuring the head button shim thickness. Werks sent me an email stating that with this deck height, the engine is optimized for 30% fuel.

4. Here's the nice turbo cut crank, also epoxy filled and ballanced.

5. Here's a photo of the turbo head button, with the shims.
