When Jason Tanner and I built our first induction crank engine Steve Parris told me that it gave better top end lubrication and cooling. This is what the piston looks like with 30 hours of Pro level riding on it.

With our recent trip to Glen Helen for the KX Guru Racing build off with Adam MillAr over with I thought it would be a good time to share with you some good times... Thankfully, Adam is a good sport... To get his bike down to Glen Helen Adam shipped his bike from Canada to me in Oregon and I hauled it in Jason Tanner's trailer down to Oscars place... His crate was sitting in my shop for a couple of weeks. I didn't dare touch his bike but here was a blank canvas waiting for some art work..

Mike Weir Should I? Of course I should, After all I will likely never have a opportunity like this again... Every time I passed by I had to laugh... Sorry Adam... Ok, I'm not 😄
