Crank is shot, do I stroke it or not?

How much power you trying to make with $2550+ in your heads?
Why not just run Brian's RHS heads and save at least $1,000?

That's another problem
Some guys like myself just want some extra "grunt" around town or when he's trying to pull a stump across a few acres.

Different uses of the motor will give you different budgets
I'm also building a torquey "work truck" motor not a quarter-miler.

My point was just that things add up quick on these things....and just for grins, I have more that that in my heads, but I built my motor for power.....with a small cam :D
