Heh, it was 5 years ago, and I know you are a ton faster , but you still were quite respectable and it gives one a good idea of the track. Just hold off and promise us all a video when you run down there, next? Ok, real German, I was just assuming you meant Bariloche, since can't imagine them flying the Porsches over to Chile? I vill frumm Montag kall du das Verrucht Hasmcaher , zince du bist von Deutschland!

Well,,, what do you know.... the King racing bearings gave the plastigauge readings of 0.038mm pretty much accross the board for the main bearings.... The clevite bearings were all over the place.
The King bearings were nicely packaged individually. While the Clevits were just wrapped in Paper in a loose box. No need for honing!

Lately all I've blown is alot of money on my Boss 302S getting ready for race season. The only good thing is Grant has not been helping me spend it or I might be broke!

Correction!! My builder confessed he had to hone two bearing caps to get all of them to 0.038mm
