JHB Housing Update

Lawyer,
Wondering how your coated housings are working? I noticed that you are selling a lot of car parts, is that engine still working well? Just curious since I may be doing a rebuild soon and this is a route I would consider.
Thanks

The engine is fine, I am on the quest for more power so just selling stuff I will not be needing. I haven't compression tested it since it is running fine and ingnorance is bliss.

If you are swapping turbos, is there any chance of getting some pictures inside the exhaust ports looking at the housings? It's not really a convenient thing to do, but it would be interesting to see how the coating is holding up in a commonly scratched area...

Sure if I can get a camera to focus in there. I really don't want to know, but I guess I should so the rest of you know where to spend your hard earned cash.

LOL. All kidding aside, this shouldn't be necessary. Just borrow or rent a borescope and look into the intakes and leading spark plug holes.
