hehe looks like its sold oh well :(
Kind odd some of the comments I got pmail about that link
1) I have no biz association to the seller
2) I do know of the seller simply by the quality of their post on the samaba
3) It be nice to see some contructive comments about the build rather than
its red or  I cant find anything he did to improve this(bottom end), but the
only real way would be a
large bearings, witch means a bigger crank, and a ton of money to acomplish
this

last time i check the color of a rebuild has no effect on build quality and
I thought that rods where part of the bottom end and would not
'New chromoly steel I-beam connecting rods' be a better than std oem rods
chromoly being stronger / lighter than oem ?
