I'm embarrassed to say I don't remember... i got the blower second hand. Who did it was not as important to me as how it looked seeing as it was already done. Let me send out a few messages and I'll track that down. I'm impressed by it though. It lines up with the heads very well.

EDIT: just got word - RPM in Santa Clara Cali.

Man that looks way better than my port job. I am curious why the material was removed from around the top o fthe port. Does the stock maggie have some overhang there?

What were the "complications" with the spacer?

Golen Engine in Hudson NH. Chad is a great guy.

The spacer: The O ring groove in the spacer is too deep essentially making the o ring gasket useless. I don't want to use RTV on it... I want it to work as designed. I'll hold off on it for now.

You should be able to go to your local industrial supply house and get o-ring cord of what ever size you need to make it work. I though of trying to route out an oring groove on mine but have deiced just to use rtv between the spacer and top plate and reuse the oring on the tub side.

I agree with Rob on this one. For such an expensive piece that is cut on CNC machines, one would think it should come out perfect, and function as intended.

A CNC machine is only as good as the person running it... Just saying...

A few problems this weekend prevented us from getting it done. I'll have updates later today with a few pictures.
