I don't know what to tell you. Since I am not an engine builder I cannot step out and cover all of their work in an all-encompassing answer. Having not had one built yet it remains to be seen just how smooth the builds utilizing my blocks can be. Being that it will be a more stout block, if built to proper specs, I can't imagine a cause for the engine being a worse product. How much more benefit will there be with pressurized oiling to the crank and cam journals? I don't know exactly, but conventional wisdom told me that oiling things better will make for better product.

At this point, I am inclined to tell you that we will have to wait until the first one is running and we make a judgment then.
