Houston, seems like quite a few on Ebay also modding and pinching. Do you pinch motors also or just rebuild?

much prefer new p/s/r myself but for those guys on a budget ................ resize is their answer and rayaracing resizing equ. is pretty top notch IMO. alot of the racers i work for don't consider price as a factor just a badass dependable engine and thats what i give 'em
happy motoring',

ya i noticed the ebay thing too , i have been doing this for a while and am very good at it and it kind of irks me that everyone and their brother think they can do the mods that make a difference and then you send them your engine and have no proof of their work , either good or bad . just my .02 cents
