dont worry about it dude buddy is a douche lol
and the most recent post here, i here what your saying and will not argue any of your points, but im confident in my work and ill be assembling the new motor again, theres been several new threads about these rod breaking/bending since mine so i still feel that the rods are to blame. kevin at HJR has asked me to send the crank in to him because the maker wants to look over it and do some tests. he said no other customers would send their broken cranks in so it looks bad on the customer. i sent it out last week so he should get it any day now, i will let you guys know the outcome.
