mine (so far) are home-built. I've also built 5 or 10 for other folks.
I've def. done at least three from scratch and I've had a hand in the
other ones...
I haven't built anything more than what the Kastner TR6 book says (yet).
I'm looking for reliabitiy more than ultimate power.
the only prob. I've had to this point with all those motors was a broken
rocker arm which was a rebuilt stock piece. Rather than risk that problem
again, I switched to roller rockers about 5 years ago. def. the way to go
if you're not constrained by rules.
These motors are easy to work on as long as you're not trying to get 2X
the factory specs from them.
regards,
rml
