face=Arial>Well now that Im done dancing around the room yelling "Stock"
:-)<BR>Give me a ring, Ive been collecting parts for an alternative to
that<BR>Darksider for the past 2 years and I just keep finding more and more
junk to<BR>avoid out there.<BR><BR>Basically, Old stock... OEM or good
aftermarket, Berg stuff, and I was about<BR>to ring the warning bell on
another Item... The T4 world has lost the last<BR>supply of suitable
94mm cylinders... it seems the Mahle kits, even though<BR>they are still
labeled OEM quality, are using Chinese AA cylinders and they<BR>are JUNK JUNK
JUNK! That's what took out my first T4 build, warped
AA<BR>cylinders. It's a good thing Russ didn't live to see AA cylinders
in a<BR>Mahle kit!<BR><BR>Not sure IF or WHEN they started putting them in the
1600 kits but look at<BR>the base of the cylinder near the short fins, there
are a couple fins<BR>bridged where the Chinese logo is cast or stamped in them
and its ground off<BR>on the Mahle supplied units.<BR><BR>Which of the Fleet
is THIS engine for?<BR><BR>Keith</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>If it'll make you feel better, Jake will build you a complete new T-4
motor for 15K (his cheapest). That engine uses ALL USA made parts. ;-)
