Without any doubt, machines that make this level of power are not for the faint at heart, shallow pockets or mediocre parts. We calmed it down a bit with a dished piston and the rest is history discussed in other threads on here. As I understand John has not run it much. His day job is very demanding and it takes him all over the place more than anywhere else. Cool project for sure.
