john: i for 1 am glad you brought it to our attention. when this happened before (sorry can't remember the member that had the problems) you and i talked via pms about this and it bothered me then. at that time the motor was still unassembled and i thought about what my options were and decided to stay the course. now the motor has been assembled, run on a break-in stand and installed. this has been just 1 project from the last 9 yrs and of course i get asked about the HEMI all the time and i'm hoping to get it on the road this summer. i just winch when i think of the possibilty of that happening and so i was looking (hoping) for some positive feedback via this fourm. again i thank you for stepping up and letting us know about it and sincerly hope your luck takes a turn for the better with your car project. dave
