I thought I had read that PettyBlue had hydraulic a cylinder due to a needle and seat in the carb leaking gas into the engine...and when he went to start it...it hydraulic and broke the cylinder/block.
which is not really a reflection on the crank...rods or pistons...just one of those unfortunate things...
Tony your right,my stroker would still be running 10,s if it wasn,t for my own errors.:banghead:A costly mistake,but I,ll be building another stroker again without hesitation.Good luck.
