What kind of "big problems" are you referring to?

His sheared a woodruf key. If I remember correct, it was the counterbalancer key. RAPTORAZ....if you don't mind, what kind of compression are you running with your current build? How many hours of run time have you logged?

Ross makes some pretty pistons, I drooled a little looking at yours:-)

You should hold it in your hands. It's hard to keep the drool off of it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Isn't that getting near diesel level?

Nice drag pics.

Nope. But I plan on asking him before the install. But I asked him a if there was anything I should know, or watch for, and he said no. That the installation should go smoothly. So I assume there is no clearence issues.

If you build it right you should have no problems, and take the right precautions for running high compression...
