Thanks Scotty! Good to hear from you. Hope you're doing well my friend.

Another LSX. They reinforced the water jackets with the new block, so if it breaks again, hopefully it'll be something different and original.

below the belt!!

I have not had good luck with LSX blocks myself which is why I asked. Straight up failures like this one so I wont be back for another azz whooping.

Really, I was just hoping to get right above the belt but still close enough to rattle his sack.

Only rattling will be that shroud, or that fancy cut screen

That bellmouth you made looks really sweet!

What were you thinking when you slapped on the chicken wire? You do great work, just weird to see that screen done that way! Thought you were more ADD about that stuff?

Hope this new block holds up to the beatings this time!

Oh, no, that was my spurs and belt buckle, but I didn't know it could be heard in the video.
