We had to flip, rotate, everything possible to get the turbo to fit. Installing it, removing it, installing it, back and forth got tiresome. I swear this thing weights 75lbs.

I want to go ahead and say this whole ordeal has been a PITA thus far...We need to remove the oil squirters, however you NEED to utilize a hex head "SET Screw" that sits flush with the block, or the rod bolts only clear by 10 thousandths..
However the thread pitch we need are a very uncommon one..Brian Crower sent us 12x.25x12 mm screws, and the thread we need is way finer that that..I am beginning to wonder if Brian Crower has even done one of these motors yet
I honestly am starting to get angry with having to do their R&D for them..

it woudlnt hurt to ask some other shops who have tackled this stroket kit already. Of the top of my head, injected and i think spg have a few BC stroker kits build, that whay you dont have to "reinvent the wheel"

Julian,
We checked the part number for the plugs we use, and it is a 12x1.25.
Furthermore, I just opened a motor and removed one to verify that the stock bolts are 12x1.25 - they are. Could you have received something mislabeled - have you verified the plugs you have as truly being a 1.25 thread? If you need a set, let us know.

The fact of the Matter is we have to date , besides Team Falcon Drift, we have yet to see one of these strokers up and running..I certainly have not heard of any stroker kit to leave YOUR facility..

lets not get carried away on indirect attacks J
....I know first hand form a friend doing an engine build with the BC stroker kit and a bunch of other stuff on a greddy kit, i think its being build by SGP, and he should have his car shipped to him too.... from what i understood sgp had done a few of stroker kit already so they knew what to do and probably had some of the stuff liek the gridles all ready probably.
I am sure next time , just as injected has for example, you build a BC stroker kit you know what to expect and it will be much less time consuming.
keep us posted on the progress

BC did provide us with some pictures of the build that required further grinding of the piston skirts and rods..This would be great, however we purchased a kit dynamicly balanced from BC. So removing material from pistons and rods at this point would most likely throw off the balance..Therefore this is not feasable..
And on a side note, Look at pic #2.....Look at all those metal shavings in that dudes assembled motor...That is horrid..

it appears its all fine as far as teh kit goes, but as Julian pointed out the problem was the lack of "comunication" in the instructions provided which cause some down time having to redo some stuff, etc etc
