There should be very little that you need to know that's not posted in the sticky.

If it's not in the sticky, then you need to post it up here so that it can be talked about in public so that when people search for questions to answers, they can find them instead of jus asking.

That's why we're here, to help!

So, let us have it. What do you want to know?

I too would rather have people post a new thread rather than talk on AIM so everyone can see the answer.

i'm wondering where you guy's got you CA's from and is there anything special needed to do the swap. I'm really thinking about buying from Boost_boy if he can get another shipment in the future.

I've got 2 motors from Boost Boy's supplier in Miami and both were top notch. I also got my first motor from some shop in cali, but it had cracked pistons and the shop has since gone out of business.

I got mine from Venus. The motor wasn't in great shape. Rings were worn. Ended up rebuilding it.

Venus is kinda hit or miss. Some people get great motors from them, others get crap.
