So found a bent reluctor wheel, so back to machine shop to get it replaced. Went ahead and opened up the ring gap a bit just in case I wanted to run something crazy like 30 psi


Also, used this time to get everything powdercoatd wrinkle black for extra stealth.

I'm curious what a reluctor wheel replacement costs.

About a $1k but had it longblocked also and the rings regapped a bit bigger.

Definately not what i want to spend my money on right now, would rather have used for fuel cell.

So I had an issue with the block that set me back a few weeks so while had some extra time decided to make things a bit nicer looking and low key:

You're in Conroe? I'm just down the road in Spring. I got a TBSS I'm fixing to start a single on. You should come down and give me some pointers, lol

I meant if you literally just give someone a crankshaft and ask them to replace the reluctor wheel... not do all of the work and re assemble it.

Yeah I'm actually down the street from you in the hoodlands. I wouldn't mind checking out that tbss you are working on. I was giving that guy **** for selling his maggie, but hes in good hands now with you for sure. Let me know if you want to meet up some time and shoot the ****.

I would be interested in picking your brain on the what I should consider when building my primaries for the twins.

I would say it probably 1-2 shop hours, just want to make sure they press it on perfect otherwise will cause a shitload of headaches down the road.
