In my opinion, if you are show casing your work here on this forum, you will have to be prepared to answer questions or even face criticism.

In this particular case, it was clearly visible from the pictures, that there was no substantial work done to this engine, other than polishing.
Sorry if Blee and some other people don't like it, but it is a fact.

It's also a fact, that you cannot raise the performance of an engine in any noticeable way, without changing the induction timing and the sleeve timing.

It only got ugly, when Blee was trying to sell his polishing work as real modification and told us that he had "modified" more than 300 engines.

Sorry, but I have been modding engines for almost 6 years now and I have probably done 50 (all none commercially).

I have seen this kind of "modifying" countless times and a lot of times this is all the customers look for. Shiny internals. It's like a placebo, if it's shiny, it's gotta be faster.

I have seen a lot of really fast engines, also factory engines and none of them were polished.

So, I would summarize it as follows:

Blee, if your customers are happy with what you are doing, than all is good.
Keep going!

If you wanna show your work on a forum like RCTech,where you will meet a lot of people who know how to modify engines, be prepared to answer questions about it.
