  Well, first off thank you Nicholas for a fine informative video. For all viewers this is my engine and I am thrilled that the brothers Panaritis are working together on this build. They remind me of working with my brother Mark on projects ,annoying each other at times but also quite endearing and I would not have it any other way. Precious moments. Thank you Phillip for your interest. Thanks for the Thunder Road heading as that came from an old friend Paul Stine from Johnstown P.A. who, when I attended auto mechanics school at Vale Technical Institute in Blairsville P.A. from 1974-76. He always used that as a closing in correspondence. I know there is more to this build and I will be looking forward to the final values. And to you George, thanks for the filming of these videos and the cool back-lighting on the shorts video. You are awesome with your talents. Enough said. Happy New Year to Nicholas and crew and I thank you all. Michael Kocan.Thunder Road!!!

  I hope that supplier paid for all the cost from that failure.

  Anyone who hasn't broken something, hasn't built anything. Great video - great to show what goes wrong as well as what goes right. It's a learning experience.

  Company should have thrown in a few sets of pistons for all your head aches as a sign of good customer service as soon as they confirmed it was their mistake . I know I would , even if it wasn’t on the internet. Word of mouth gets around quick.

  Sir, you are a builders - builder! Your skill, experience and expertise should be considered a treasure! Few builders would go to the effort you have gone through, to determine the precise cause, even to the level of scoping each piston to determine the precise root cause! Most builders would just get another piston from the shelf, replace it, dyno it and send it off - profit over quality... You are literally a builders - builder...!  Thank you for making these videos! It's reassuring to see people that know how to properly build engines!

  The piston manufacturer should pay you for your labor.

  You can see half the questions are from people that have never ever built an engine
