lookin good blake! what are you doing engine wise? I'll have to come check it out when i finally convince that kid to buy your X!

[bholzgen]

Haha for sure! Well because I make a HUGE $7.50 an hour, I will be keeping the engine stock for now. I tore into the motor and found out the crankshaft was bent, so I will be getting a hot rods crank. Plus, I am replacing every seal and bearing with new OEM, and that is not cheap! Will have a pretty fresh motor when Its all said and done. Was running a 67.50mm wiseco piston, but I think I am switching to pro-x. The bottom end is 89, and the cylinder is an 86, so it will be a long rod motor with a spacer plate.
