I don't know anything about it, would 2mm be best way to go or 3mm? I don't plan on modding it out any time soon, but if I have extra money I would like to, would like reliability and decent life out of the engine, but also upgradeability if funds come around. the engine is just getting a streetport (not huge but not small either) and a carb, should be enough fun for the daily driver.



are there any down falls with the 2mm vs. 3mm seals? which would be better for reliability?

Well, its dragonms.com that asked me which ones I wanted in a e-mail they sent me. Should I ask them how much of a price difference would be between 2mm and 3mm when they respond to me?

i just looked at the website and its all fd stuff. you should ask them when they mean when they say "all parts are new" for the $2600 rebuild.
