Here is what he said:

The crankshaft looks extremely similar to the RB C5,C6 and B10. The rod also looks very similar to RB.

As far as piston/sleeve, he was very pleased with the quality look of the ports, Look like the quality of some of the hi-end engines.

Just figured I would post and let you know. I know Rex at RW is also looking at some mods as well. Hope to see what he thinks too.

Everyone so far is getting great mileage with these engines, but we are looking at a few things to squeeze out some more. I will keep everyone informed as we will start testing the modded versions next week.

I am almost done modding the Argus, should have some pics early next week. I am modding one of the new 7 port Alpha's right now too.
