That blower cracks me up... That bitch by itself would take up the entire engine compartment of most sub-compacts.

Jay…..can you elaborate on what treatment you did to the CJ crank??…top secret or something that is available to everybody….my biggest concern was the undercut snout on the factory cranks….where you guys able to address that area or does your team feel its good to go with the 4.5...

My brain trust feels the undercut on the crank isnt the root cause of failures. Improper balancer installation and belt tension is. In regard to treatment the crank was sent to Georgia for treatment...that stuff i need to keep classified for now. Ill ask my team member who set it up if he wants me to divulge that info... but most likely not.
