yeah its really scary to buy a motor built by a guy and his brother..
checking for bearing clearances, head stud torqueing... timing belt install...ring gap, and seating
little things like that- which can be improperly done, cause cause major headaches.

I have seen people mention themselves having bomb-proof sleeves before, but never actually heard anything about them.

"okay let me dig out the magine for you it also make the whole custom block gaurantee no crack doesn't matter how you play with it turbo nos but cost very very high price 5000-7000 if i am not thinking wrong.."
