He did some computer simulation work for me on a Case project a few years back and was very accurate. I'm sure whatever your needs he has a combination that will meet them. mEl [Reply]   [No Email]

Just cant see spending 1000...2000 when I had to spend 6000 on my kids teeth for braces, so its back to head gaskets and valve seals and sew it back together. [Reply]  [No Email]

Bolt some plates on the top of the piston and you'll be good. [Reply]  [No Email]

Remember, sometimes you get what you pay for. Also, if horsepower was cheap, everybody would have it. Those 44 pistons on your website look good Ray. What compression can you build them too?

Working on a 4.5" stock stroke MH44 right now. Got the motor late last week. I see what people mean when they say the head Sux on these... [Reply]  [No Email]

I live in the same neck of the woods as mEl, and he and Goldsburg both mentioned you as a possibility for 4.5" slugs. That DC4 of Jerry"s is stout! [Reply]  [No Email]
