    @MPS2NV is doing it, I'm stopping engine building once I clear all honored jobs. I will help with machining through my machinist, passing on info answering questions etc. Im still doing smaller jobs (DP,suspension, etc up to 3hr jobs) but not engine rebuilding .. Thanks for thinking of me .. back to reedy's thread!!

    So apparently there are potential issues with CP-e Stage 2 Pistons where the skirts can foul or hit the oil squirters? Anyone know anything more about this? Might lean back towards SP63 pistons if this is the case.

    I'll see if I can find the thread on MSF where somebody said they did hit but have since been revised. I'll double check when I get mine back.

    Sweet. CP-e Back on the menu then.

    Emailed Edge, RPMStore and SP63 to see who can get me a set of pistons the soonest. Whoever can get me a set first wins the prize!

    Because when I buy an engine, I have it pulled it apart before it's made a single turn.

    Can't believe you found those issues with a brand new engine!

    Wow, makes me wonder about mine now. I wonder how common that sort of stuff is off the production line? Hand-built all the way!

    Haha, love the orange highlights. See you went twin turbo diesel... Nice.

    Edit: is that 4 turbos...?

    Good move Reedy to strip down the brand new motor. Looks like QA is crap from Mazda. Glad I'm getting mine hand built by Luke.
