    Getting 3 year old tires out of a warehouse is not unusual. It has happened to friends with Tire Rack and to me straight from Hankook Motorsports. Tire Rack would not exchange a set of 3 year old tires for a friend. They said they were not...

    Just bought a set of new Goodyear super at 3r tires. Looked at tire date and it’s from March 2021 They are 3 years old and came from my local tire store. Should I use them and have them get me another set ??

    OEM Gen 3 blocks are great. Easy to take them all the way to 500rwhp.. After building several forged motors... Just going with the gen 3 block is the better way to go.

    The gen 3 short block is about $3k. I suspect there will be a warranty with the block also. Ask the dealer to confirm.

    That would be the way to go. You would still need cam chains and I would install new oil pump and good oil pump gear. (see full post)

    Watched a few videos of YouTube online … to replace one rod/piston assembly, is it essentially the entire engine being torn apart? I know everything from the heads and up come off but does the crank also? I’m just thinking with the labor cost, I...

    I went with a built Gen3 shortblock. Hindsight, I should have just went with an OE Gen3 shortblock.
