I've got to say that my little 5K has surprised me. Initially it doesn't feel *that* different to a smokey 4K. It's no firebreather, and anyone who thinks...
... Yes, only 7500rpm. It is not worked, all standard. What is the problem here? I think it gets valve bounce past that or something, the power drops off at...
Well I am on a budget, and I got the 2TG originaly for alot less than any of you have bought a 5K for. Since I have got alot of other things, but its still a...
Well from what you are telling me, my 2TG would beat your 5K quite easily even in stock form. Not that I am proud, just that I have a few more cubes and it...

i'm curious about the 8000rpm claim. not that i'm doubting you but... with my 4K, it has 40 thou OS pistons and rods balanced to within 0.1 grams, 235deg @ 50...
My friend at tech can do 3 angle valve grind for me, and I've got a head gasket set. He could probably do a head plane too. Apparently its got new bearings. ...
As said previously, i have a 2TGEU headgasket set anyways. Valve clearances wern't too far out. a little on the bigger side, so I guess just a little less...
