Brendan's work is track tested by many his work is worth the money buy two engines do yourself a Favor and run them back to back std against the podified ... Personally I would be talking to rick from barzts sounds like you might need a rod as well D=WheelPower99;11140037]The question or opinion I'm asking does this look like it been modified to any of you that have experience in that area.
