Hey Pete:
You so deserve a vacation!!! Oh NO!!...you missed a bike night?! The stadium is going to have them Sunday after 4 along with some kind of ride.

Bring back some warmer weather and sun when you come home!!!

Unfortunately, No racing the rental. I spent the day with the lovely bride and my cousin's family on a waterfront restuarant in Palm Beach. Mothers day took priority. Pretty good trade off.
Run the 85 hard. Whatever you break, we can fix.

are you sure you had the correct runner gaskets installed? there was an issue during last year where the incorrect runner gaskets were boxed with some super rams......its was determined that the gaskets were for large tube runners and not the runners for the super ram. THIS will definitely cause leaks.

I assembles sami85L98's motor a few weeks ago and his gaskets were terrible. I did not say anything to him about it because he had bigger fish to fry. It would have depressed him more. I made him a new set from gasket paper and move the hole for a better fit.

But not when the hurricanes come. It becomes quite messy with roof shingles everywhere, pieces of twigs and branches all around. Well, I finally took that SuperRam off and sold it in 3 days.

I guess that i missed the reason that this thread is in the performance related section and not off topic.

Re-read the opening post. I do my best to answer many transmission related problems. Many private messages a day as well. A few guys are in the middle of problems that I am assisting with. I did not want anyone to feel ignored or forgotten. If this bothers you, my apologies. I am somewhat sure Mr. Mojo has likely seen this thread and chose to leave it here. My feelings will not be hurt if he moves it. I started the thread and do not care that went off topic.

Often, by the third page of a thread, someone turns it for the worst. Looks like this may be the beginning of it.
