bonehead reporter gets it half right
just watched the nyc poker run coverage on discovery chqannel. i hope skater sponsored the show... from this day forward all hulls that pack air shall be called skater cats no matter who actually manufatures the hole... er a hull. hopefully the folks at callahan, mti, etc will be O K with the new moniker... btw i didn't know you had to go thru those 1450 sterlings every 50 hours and only reuse the heads blocks and cranks... anyone buy any used rods from these guys? i figure as many big hp motors as these guys sell and build/ freshen there should be a lot of sets of used rods available, or one would think. i would think a good set of oliver or carrillo rods would stand more than 50 hours of use.

i guess they just toss the blowers, oil pans, carbs, rods, intercoolers, and everything else..... hey jc, next time you rebuild a zul and throw this stuff away, just ups to me... all i will need to buy is a block, crank and heads....
