No offense intended, but there's no way we can possibly evaluate the machine work to the case by aesthetics. Mics are needed! It is very, very difficult to TRULY blueprint a typical T1 engine since everything is so sloppy. We'll see how this case measures up. > With all of the > benefits that everyone lists for the Type 4 case since it is pure aluminum, > this might actually be a good alternative for those looking for a new case > to build a stock or performance motor with. I have *heard rumors* that the heat treat on the material is incorrect. We'll find out by performing some tests on it... but if this is true, it could be much weaker. Also, a big oversight was the failure to include through-bolts. This is perhaps even a bigger advantage than the case material.
