    What crank should I use

    Piston Head Pitting

    in hindsight, no, not lots of blue smoke, but smoke when it started out, then little to none in the higher rpm's. it sounded kinda angry?

    Piston Head Pitting

    X won't pull a wheelie.

    I have an X 4.6 SS, all stock. Still breaking in my engine, finished 4 tanks. I have the hsn set to 1/4 turn out and the lsn set to 1/8 turn out. She wont keep off the ground!!! I've even flipped her 3 times, which scratched my roof! ARGH! It could be a compression issue; a leak on the mill or...
