Rings clamps = instant death.....the best pinchers with the best tooling won't be able to save it...

May save a race if you sucked dirt in the qualifier and didn't bring a back up...squeeze it, run it, pitch it.

This tool will prolong the life of the worn out P/S set that you will otherwise throw away.
Pretty much says it all....

I have just received another piston/sleeve set back from ray that had been previously resized by a person I would rather not name and needless to say it was not exactly up to standards but ray did a badass job of fixing it!

This is no joke , don't hesitate to give ray a try and ask for "houston specs"

Quick question for U Monty! D u prefer the short manifold in truggy on the p5. the toro, plus 4 and the fms as opposed to the long manifold or the 41005 manifold with the 9853 or the 2084?

Truggy pretty much always the 41021

Anything smaller than 4.92mm is not worth a new rod imo, or questionable if out of round more than .04mm


Btw , the X7 is awesome!

Tried a few different crank configurations and 2084ss as well as 9853ss ,i like the 9853ss

And there is almost no cell service at the track, sorry guys
