Perhaps that block doesn't seem terribly far off since it's sleeved, but to me their motors seem pretty over priced.
What are your thoughts on the other short blocks you've seen on the market like the IAG products? I've been installing them for a few years in EJ land, but I've only had to pull one FA! |
I used a $2400 HKS crank in mine because the oiling surface on the rod is more than the FB25 crank. the reason I do not like the complete HKS kit or this clubDSPORT kit or even the TODA kit is that they are using a short rod. the rod to stroke ratio then drops and causes more wear and side load on the piston skirt and rings, as well as the cylinder. Expect mass oil consumption and failure quickly.... Or as one report we have in here HKS rods breaking.
As for IAG they are not offering a sleeved 2.3 only stock cylinder closed decks with stock crank
