why would you not recommend them? i dont really see the deference in street running and 4500rpm. just wondering

The bearing/bushings assembly wears much faster.

Otherwise I doubt there'd be any issue.

:doh: I wasn't reading close. i feel like a dumb ass now.

Lol, I feel like that three or four times a day.

From what I've been told the bearing in them can be replaced with a bushing that will outlast the bearings.

but it dont change the fact that instead of install and pretty much forget about it, you need to adjust ?lash? much more frequently. i recall hrt saying somewhere it would be somewhere in the monthly time frame.

Not sure where he posted it, but that's the timeframe he recommended when I was discussing them with him.

I remember that conversation now... I understand where you are coming from - I have had some well known and well liked vendors not return my phone calls even after leaving 3-4 messages - I don't hold it against them - and I am sure they did not do it on purpose.
