Elite Guru Bakersfield Ca 2336 Posts Member since: 2011/7/4 21:23	Well I was out shooting my P98 when John took her out for a test drive. Stalled a couple times but that is what I brought it in for. Guess it is the part the computer talks to has 4 pins plug in that is causing it to stall only when you are driving and when comeing to a stop. Was the reason I was bring it in. John will fix that. Big problem is the one piece rear main seal leaks at about 3000 rpms. Not at an idle. We replaced the seal that my son installed. John is going to pull the transmission and see that the one piece is conected correctly. It leaks very little. I don't want it to leak at all. John test drove it and he found out what I had told him about this transmission. Can spin on a dime in low gears and at 75 miles an hour less than 1700 rpm. Awsome gas millege. Average about 27 on freeway Dam new GMC truck only got 15.6 mpg on way to beach sat.

Andy, the existing crank will be offset ground to increase stroke,then we will need pistons with a different wrist pin location to increase stroke aswell.
