I'll be having my engine rebuilt by Banzai-Racing in a couple weeks, hopefully... 87' TII with 60k on original motor. As I am seriously hoping there is no damage to the walls (it has internal leak), I do see it as a possibility. How bad would you say the irons would have to be for this to not be useful and just go with a new housing? Of course, either way I'll most likely be purchasing this if they have no issue installing them and keeping their warranty.

I like this. Ben, tore any of your guinea pigs down yet after a few years of being in the field? I will be tearing down my S5 Tii in the fall and depending on the walls, I will pick a set up if needed.

i only sold a few sets so i quit making them.
i do have the unwelded wire and a softer silicone seal material that will still work with them, but the liner would have to be glued to the irons with simple super glue/cyanoacrylate of 255F+. which really isn't that hard to accomplish.
anyways, i'd sell those DIY parts for half the original cost i asked in this just to get the stuff out of here. anyone who's intersted can IM me, i don't check these threads anymore.
the couple of customer's engines i tore apart never had walls break in the interim so my original test engine was all i had the basis for.
