They are junk. The best thing to do is take it off and send it to me.<br /><br />Sorry - couldnt help myself. They are great motors and produce a ton of torque. Let it turn up and you should be in for a good time. <br /><br />Take it for a test and let us know how its set up.<br /><br />Good luck!

Yeah, these are good motors, and 88 and up are the best with their bigger bore size. Have fun!!
