This isn't a thread about how much the engine cost or how much hp/ci it can make. Honestly I wasn't expecting it to make 1000. Regardless of price what I was expecting was an engine that was assembled properly: Clearances checked, good oil control, good oil psi, good cylinder psi. At least it would be a solid foundation to build upon. Ive raced almost 40 yrs and never had a valve lock up in the guide.
