WOW - Nice attitude. It sounds like I made out by missing out...... Good for me. On top of that, you didn't even reply to my PM, please don't bother now. No need to reply to this post either, you'll probably just make yourself sound like more of an ***.

To the rest who've responded with your thoughts & ideas, Thank You.

Geez!!! What a jerk!
You'll sell a lot of engines that way. And god forbid if something went wrong, what kind of attitude would you have then?

And your math is wrong. That piston with an 80cc head and some deck clearance is lot closer to 9.75:1 than 9.0:1. That's a significant enough difference on an iron headed motor with the mild Thump'r cam. Those cams build cylinder pressure early but you already knew that I'm sure.


OLZ442, he's right though, he just did you a favor. You dodged a bullet there LOL!

To set the record straight, FIRST 442 sent me a PM apologizing for his post which he has now Deleted. He stated he didn't mean any harm by the post, never the less, the wording was not called for. That's enough on this subject. I'm still debating what to do, either rebuild my motor or buy one built. Thanks again everyone.
