Also, I was unaware that high performance replacement parts manufacturers were recommending a "blueprint" fit. A good idea. The old school advice was from the olden days before the common usage of Korean dampers on Chinese crankshafts. I concede, I stand corrected. I NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, should have said, "NEVER, NEVER, NEVER". There is no doubt checking for a proper press fit is the proper route to take.



Wrong! You 1/2. This one. You get zero for the last one because you never could grasp what I was saying. Twice, you accused me of saying something I didn't. Even after three explanations, you have no idea what I said. You 1/2. Me 1 1/2.

RACE ON!!!

You guys should start your own forum together and see how many others join. I'm sure the demand would be so high that you could charge a membership fee.
