As the title says , mine just arrived . I thought it would have the dlc crack being the “R” model but I assumed wrong . Friday it will be going on the bench and after 1500ml I’ll swap rods since I have personally seen more Nova rods fail than I’d like in the past 6 months. I picked up a 29.5mm ASM Nuclear rod that I will be trying …I’ll Mic it before it goes on . Let’s see what the fuss is about w this engine . Might end up being a super fun Gt engine in the event it’s not timed too high so the Gt manifolds allow it to light up .
