      If they can go through 2 engines a month they can afford a crankcase evacuation system. At this point they cannot afford NOT to have it. Can you imagine how bad those gaskets are screaming to get out of that engine lmao.

    • @FastBowtie388
      @FastBowtie388 4 года назад

      Something else that's amazing are gapless rings. NA engines use a top gapless. Nitrous and positive pressure respond well to a secondary gapless ring.
      I have a stroker with 248° @.050 on 108° centers making almost 20"hg :-)
      Until I'm over 7,000rpm I build almost no crank pressure.
      Probably wouldn't have been a bad idea if they put some time on that engine to seat the rings either :-)
