Man. That engine is wildly unbalanced. I’d love to see a full set of each material and run them.<br><br>And let’s see it on a dyno!

I know this doesn’t get brought up a lot, but I always love the music choices while they’re building. Never repeats and always fun

I am really amazed that the rod bolts held up. I was really expecting something ro let go the entire time.

Since the brass piston seemed to hold up the best may I suggest trying to replace all 4 pistons with brass ones and see how well it runs.
