Wanna give a big thanks to Davehix, an Roy for the advice an direction to go on my new 2276 build. Got to drive it for the first time today, and all I can say is Wow, this thing is a monster   And nothing makes it better than knowing I built it all myself. Cant wait for this snow to be gone, gonna be a big difference from beating the piss outta my 1915 to go places. lol

My 1915 ran pretty damn good, But theres no comparison lol and that's just cruising it around the yard in the snow. Very pleased with it. |

lol I hated too, But for every bad thing I read I found similar problems with mahle. So ill hope for the best. Assuming your asking about ring gap? They come fully assembled, But yea I took everything apart , cleaned an inspected. |

Great job on the motor build. I knew you would be happy with the combination. What did you set your cam timing to? Did you zero it? I didn't know you were going to run 11.5-1. Wow is right! Keep good fuel in it and you should be fine. Hope you have a good transaxle!
