Looks Freshly rebuilt with those tight tolerances .Hopefully it holds together for a while. Had a buddy that had one just like that that came all original from the factory that was built to tight tolerances .He was out of town for work and a couple guys snuck in and took it for a ride and it spun a few rods . It was never quite the same after that so he got rid of it.

A couple guys after that pumped a ton of time and money into it to tighten the tolerances back up to get to run hard again but unfortunately it just looked like it was ran hard. when I saw it a few years ago

A real Shame was a Hell of a Machine back in the day

A big problem which I am sure many on here are aware of with running that heavier equipment for your top end is it is constant maintenance, You get a lot of floating and eventually the spring won't be there and they sag and you have to send them back for another rebuild at 10 grand a pair.

And than some guys get talked into putting bigger springs in them when they rebuild which is even more maintenance and when it gets older there just not enough strength in the bottom end to support the top end so now you have to tear them down again go to a smaller tighter spring that will work. Problem is you are just so used to the heavier springs that the lighter ones lead you to go out and shopping for a new lower end to put a nice heavy duty top end on again.

It's a endless cycle

I know a lot guys love the Bling factor and OOhs and AHHs they get from running the heavier flashy top ends but my experience is go with the smaller and lighter top ends as they seem to never have to go back for rebuilds.

Looks like too exotic of a machine for most of us on here to Afford though

A Big Problem I have seen in the past from those exotic machines is if you run them hard their heads warp and than they start to blow a gasket over and over .

In the end with all the money you spend on maintenance and upgrades to keep it running like you want It will suck you dry and not in a good way.

Next thing you know you will be wanting to go back to an older run of the mill stock unit that you can take out for a nice cruise and have a beer on with out the worries of it blowing a head gasket .

I wouldn't mind seeing something sorta built on a budget for us other guys .
