I built up an engine with the Callies Compstar. They are forged in Japan and finished here. Machining and tolerances were dead on, very nice piece of work for the same $ as a scat or eagle.

Edit: I see they are $100 more than scat/eagle/etc now. Still worth it IMO. VERY nice pieces for $800

Stupid thing to bring up after sitting here thinking, might be embarrassed to ask, what can stock pans take? Hold 9 qts whole system when bumping oil pressure and such maybe ran dry? Gauge didn't flutter or anything but who knows... I cannot find pans that clear my offshore mounts so I used the stock ones ran hard all the time no issues but just another thing to look at...

Not to mention; thrust side of cylinder wall looks like a mirror.

Dam! I feel like I'am sitting at a table having a beer and discussing; why a engine **** itself.
