  • On top of that it is the only one I have done to this level of perfection. Every single spec from the pinion bearing preload, side gear tolerance, clutch stack tolerance, disk brake rotor runout, and overall design improvement is perfect.

  • Look ma, no hands. I just love to see a nice Pontiac Manifold hanging off my bench in space. You see when they are happy about being operated upon they will stand up on one flange all by themselves.
