I loved mine. I have a Manley rotating assembly and don't have any issues with it. just get a good set of heads. do not buy anything PRC sells. I found that out the hard way.
I don't daily drive mine as I have a company truck and 2 other cars I get the whole family into.

Well I pulled the engine and tore it down. Cost me a set of head gaskets, 1 piston and both heads rebuilt. Also a set of springs. 850 bucks and I will be putting it back together next week some time. I'll take pictures of the piston and valve. I got a bad set of springs from comp.

Geez man, i just looked at this entire thread and you have certainly had a rough run with it. Atleast you got the new problem sorted out and hopefully you will be on the road soon. How bad was the piston?

It wasn't bad. I will put up pics of it later. I bought a new one to avoid any future issues. To be honest some of this was self inflicted stupidity. The things you learn along the way.
