BansheeGuy_IV Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 Hey guys. It's b een 18 months since I had my engine done by Jim at Passion Racing. I had the 12 port, 4mm longrod, matched cases... He worked with me on the specs of the porting, and what I wanted out of the engine. It was a little tough to jet, but that really came down to my resistance to finally switch to 35mm PWK carbs. Once I switched, and experimented with the right needles, it really ran great, and has been running great. It has power available throughout the RPM range. His workmanship is impeccable. So after 18 months, I tore down the top end, to inspect it, and redo the rings. Boy was I surprised! The cylinders are in pristine condition. The pistons are in pristine condition. I ran a quick cylinder hone through them to recrosshatch them, and they look as if they were just bored. After 18 months of running his stroker setup it's still pristine and running like the day it was built. In all truthfulness, it didn't even really need the new rings, I just replaced them because I have it torn down. So not only did Jim keep his word by building me an engine that meets all of my performance goals, but he built me an engine that is bulletproof and is as reliable as the day is long. I would not hesitate to have another engine done by him. Actually, When I build a Cheetah setup, he's going to be my guy. ;-) BG Quote
blueshee03 Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 jim is a great guy who builds great running motors and loves what he does .in my oppinion he cares more about building a great running motor and customer satisfaction than he does about making lots of profit off of them.i can't wait to unleash my new passion motor jim's building me at the drags.

chase@miamiatv.com Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 im curious on what this 12 port looks like upclose/porting im also wondering if the 12 port with a stroker will keep up with cubs or preform at a leval equivilent ? or should i just run the cubs. Quote
Capone Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Here are what my jugs look like. When I get it put back together I'll let you know how I do at the badlands. I'll also post some nice videos of me walking a local 310R that has the title of fastest quad around. >:] Edited March 27, 2006 by Shee K Quote
