n8622t: Thanks for the advice....as it turns out, I talked with Kelvin at Keleo, and he turned me on to Fred Culbertson (Condor60) and then Ray English who does the intake manifold and conrod bearings for oil flow etc. My motor came today and i turned it right around and sent it to Ray for his internal modifications, Which after seeing their 2-3 videos, either you do the mods, or you don't buy the Saito 84...it's that bad....I wouldn't buy it without having Ray fix it. And he'll fit/mount the Keleo exhaust on it and return it in 10 days....I'm stoked. Huge power increase, but the main thing is this video....talks about the different cylinder head temps and lack of proper lubrication. I think it's the same one you sent me....I would not buy this engine without doing this; you're just a ticking time bomb waiting for the connecting rod to seize on the crank.
