If you read all the way down it says this.

"brand new forged 4340 steel crankshaft"

I might have to invest in that set up now. I see more compression options. emoji but what about the "punch it out .060" over"
Is that healthy for it. seems like it would be too much for the cylinder walls.

ahh. it will hold. but if you go that far, you will only have a few rebuilds left.

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

The Crank alone is $1200, and the Crower rods we use cost a few pennies more than the Eagle rods used in the other 420a engines we build.

You guys should just ignore Nick, he never knows that he's talking about emoji

Anyway, I was going to post an announcement about this, but haven't had a chance to write something up yet. Our old 2.2 is not available anymore. Our new 2.2 liter more than makes up for it.

If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask emoji

Very nice Scott. Looks bulletproof to me. But probably not idiot proof.

You should see us build one. We get all the parts, throw them into a cement mixer and poof... out comes a block.. j/k scott.

seriously, scott and I have put a lot of time into this new combo. I think it will be an excellent starting point for someone looking to make some big power.
