So my father took a flat file and emry cloth to it and kinda sorta straightened it out. We got it all together, with most of the metal chunks out of the base (previous motor grenading remnants) We couldn't decide whether it was hydrolic or solid lifter cam, there was a lot of head scratching so we set them 18-19. That motor has lasted all of one season and prob 2, and has gotten that person to first place in points. Most people at the track thinks its an illegal motor. But. It puffed 9-1 compression. So save all the parts you have, treasure or trashI am a man, And I can change, If I have to, I guess
