QUOTE We find it funny that the same day we found out about this we had just released the 5th Generation of the LE series heads with a new and more improved tool patyh and with enhanced structural integrity. The heads the guy wanted to copy were only 6 months old, but were two generations behind our current offering. Yep... I just finished my lunch and now I'm about to bag up the first of the new generation LE-200's. Nothing Earth shattering, just a few improvements to make them tougher for the abuse that some of these heads are getting exposed too. I am proud to say that none of the LE heads produced to date have suffered a failure of any kind. These latest improvements should help keep it that way. I have noticed that the torque generated by Jakes powerplants keeps inching up. That puts more strain on the heads... so the development must continue! These latest mods were done in part to prepare for the ungodly cams and spring pressures that Jakes roller cam development is sure to toss at them. I fully expect that he will push the limits with grinds that he knows won't see the public light of day, but are geared toward judging the integrity of the components (plus he really enjoys breaking things! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) ) If I can keep heads from coming apart in those conditions... well that should be enough for anyone, at least for nowLOL! |
