Re: Any ideas
+1 with Nelso - rebuild and you know you have a top quality engine rather than one of unknown quality.
I don't like the term insane - I prefer mentally hilarious!

Re: Any ideas
+1. Not only that, you would rebuild your engine cheaper than what you would pay for a replacement unit that could shit itself after 1000km

yeah, at least gotta keep up with the 14's, since the 10's are out of reach.
