Thanks for the info man, I believe if I bought a nice shiny gold crank I wouldn't want to take my dremel to it

glad to hear the changes are just the coating, hopefully I don't miss out on too much not having a gx-7r
I will give the carb a shot from what a read there was an issue that was resolved with earlier carbs so I might not even try another. (since 5.5 is a pretty recent gen.)
to think I have been spending money on novarossi/RB engines almost makes me want to cry if I get the same performance out of these GO engines, but good for the future
