If the guy who modded it for you is a reputable modder, he should know if it will work, ask him.

All engine mfg's have problems at times. They are dealing with it. Let's not make this bigger than it is.

They had a batch that the silcone epoxy went bad on. They are replacing the cranks for those that have the problem engine. Name another brand that will do that?

P4 or OD 97T, 2060 should be good. P3 should work. I have a new Reedy/2035. Going to get TT 2039 at well. More Top-end.

2025 typo = 2035

Stock shimming seems fine with 25% gen2 Dan. Been running 25% Gen2 on mine with no hassle. I did try the P3 during summer and personally couldn't get on with it. Not to say you won't but i now use a P4. I think the 97T plug should work fine also. Haven't run the 2060 but i think a few on the forums here have and find it to be a nice drive
