Motorhead seems to have retro roller setup..... This is not a retro, but a factory roller block. I need to order them soon, the engine was shipped today.

I do build motors for $ ... & I've built quite a few ... but I've also been blessed w/lotsa years of practice, reading & hangin' w/ folks who know more than me.

Both my bride & I like having our meals on a such a regular basis that ... NO, I cannot say I build motors for a living.

Professionally, I'm semi-retired mfg eng qa/qc primarily auto. But this economy has seriously hurt my nest eggs' value ... so don't be too surprised to see me bagging your grits & groceries ... slowly & deliberately. Brace yourselves ... before it's over, both you & I might only hope to find a bagboy spot.

Merry Christmas, y'all
