It was nice to see a generally positive article about our favorite engine, with excellent photos & even a comment about that "other" engine, that made me chuckle! On the other hand, I'd like to hear some feedback from the engine "gurus" here, because I thought that several things done and not done in the build up, raised questions. For instance, I suspect that since they didn't indicate milling of the heads, or the block, their compression calculations may have been optimistic? If so, shouldn't they have purchased domed forged pistons, not flat tops? And since they were stroking the engine & installing hardened exhaust seats, why not increase the exhaust valve size? Also a question on the Cam. Is this the same Cam advertised by J.Mummert, as having a power range up to 6000 RPM? In the tests it was hard pressed to peak out at 5200. I think many here, would be interested in feedback & further comments on the article. Thanks
