Stroke with only Pistons and Crank?
My first Scat rotating assembly I did 8 years ago and has taken serious abuse and works as if it was done yesterday. I just did my second one and bang for buck I just can't see a better way to go.
I've called the manufacturer and still Summit sells almost everything cheaper. They're able to buy in bulk and get a cheaper price to sell it but really cheaper than the manufacturer... And of course their customer service is second to none.. don't get me wrong I have called Scat and their customer service is very good as well..
Now as far as heads go I had my 592 360 heads redone with 2.02 valves springs k line valve guides the works..($900+) and a few years later discovered the straight Master aluminum heads for $700 on Black Friday sent to the door....
I've got to say I've seen budget minded people doing a lot of fiddling with a lot of motors over the years and I'm happy I just did it once or actually not twice and spent the money one time instead of several..
