No i have read of a new electrode relocation kit, it started over in Germany. I am surprised to see it over in the states so quickly!

I guess now I can talk **** without running the risk of getting owned in the race.


Any ideas yet? 6.0? Ls1? 370?

Sorry to hear bro. My 918 broke while I was coasting up to a red light. Luckily the valve jammed between the piston and head instead of busting through it. I was still out several hundred to repair it. Just keep spreading the word that Comp springs suck so hopefully this won't happen to anyone else. These are not isolated incidents. Their parts are obviously poor quality and / or defective.

sorry buddy.

this is the SAME way mine went out last year. just cruising, hadnt got on it in weeks... valve broke on mine though..the spring was fine.

upgrade the motor and move on is about all you can do. this **** seems to be happening way too much with the comps. damn
