[QUOTE="Quick Strike, post: 9931035, member: 11920"] Well, It took me three months to even look at it after finding no compression in #7 (lost valve seat, bent valve, broken piston). Then it was another three months until it was apart, I had a plan and it was at the machine shop. Then the machine shop had it for over a year (reduced work force to one person with too many jobs). Then it took me another three months or so to assemble the engine and make the changes you see listed in my signature. This was a ported stage IV before with shorty headers and a MRT H and BAP. I was able to find a lot of used parts and unused parts during that time at good prices. So, the longer build time helped me cut costs on parts and I saved on labor by doing the work myself. I am not sure I would have done it this way If I knew before how many obstacles I would meet. This ignorance was a blessing since it is done now to my liking. I am in PA, but traveled to HBH in MD the last time I had it tuned (before he left for Fl and returned to MD). I would not go anywhere else. [/QUOTE]
