Mine is working well. I just did a 400 mile trip in one day and will do the return tomorrow. I replaced the Snyder head with the Burtz head at about 1,500 miles and the honing marks in he cylinders were still visible. I am using the standard pistons and rings from Snyders. Rumors of a soft block are false. I had to do some of the trip on the interstate at 65 mph. I have an overdrive. Back roads are 55 mph. I like that a lot better.

I am not on Face Book or any other social network. Well, I am on Link In for business reasons but am not active. I am about to remove myself from there as I am retired. Why? I value my privacy and am very paranoid about the internet. When available, I will refuse a computer implant in my brain.

Update: Back home. 901 miles total, all except about 5 miles were the trip up there and the trip back. One day each way. No complaints.

Step on the gas, for tomorrow I die. Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past. Last edited by nkaminar; 05-22-2023 at 07:54 AM.
