Well if it was that straightforward then the straight cut gears wouldn’t be so sought-after. I’ve seen a lot of claims such as “On most “High” power builds people delete the balance shafts, the helical gears have “axial/side loading” issues at high rpm without the balance shaft where as the...

Ive heard it’s an issue when using helical oil gears with the stub shaft there are thrust loads and axial twisting, so I wanted to be safe. I get which bearings go where, but they sent me 3 bearings with holes in them. Just wanted to doublecheck that I’m not crazy for not wanting to put the...

Hello,I am currently installing my Kelford BSE kit because I didn’t want to beat up the oil pump with a stub shaft.The bearing on the back of the balance shaft from the oil pump normally is fed oil from the balance shaft itself (it’s hollow and fed from the pump), and the bearing has no hole...

Right, some are raised and some seem flush, and none make it to the other side. Going to do a thorough clean and weeping test with the alcohol like you guys recommend. Mine looks almost identical to ngerks so it seems to be the norm.Thanks guys for the help and pictures

I see STM has a front case but I’m not sure, are the helical and straight cut gear cases the same? I have straight cut gears and def would like to utilize them.

Hello all,I’m in the midst of finally getting my block all assembled after getting the time place and money. There appears to be some hairline spiderweb cracks in my front case, and I’m not sure if they are from manufacturing or the previous owner torquing it to hell.Let me know if you would...

Yeah I guess that’s true. It’s just crazy to me thst a freshly machined block with a stock crank, girdle, new forged internals, etc. could potentially sell for less than the price of the internals themselves.It’s crazy how much of a money pit these things are

After a few years in the DSM game, because of a lack of parts, expensiveness, and moving out and thus not having a garage, I need to start selling all my DSM stuff.I wanted to get cost opinions on a 6 bolt short block I have at the shop, it has a stock crank, manley I-beam rods, wiseco...

Ahh okay, yea I mean I’m pretty much at around 3 weeks since hearing his last response, it’s not that I need the build done this second but I would like to sort of get it “in the queue” so that come spring time he’s not over-overbooked, as I know many people like to start new projects around...

Does anyone know the status of TRE? I’ve been looking to get my transmission rebuilt and ready to ship it out but I haven’t been able to get in contact with Jon again since he sent me an original quote ~ 3 weeks ago. The phone rings to voicemail and I haven’t gotten a response on my e-mails.

Good to know, I guess if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I'm looking into RRT now in my home state, looks like good pricing and won't have to worry about packing and shipping.Wish I had that kind of coin right now. Planning a TRE build in the future when I AWD swap my low-rust GS-T

Looking to get my transmission freshened up (starting to become tougher to go into second, etc), and notices Xtreme Fabrications has a "Stage 1" and "Stage 2" transmission rebuilds, between $950, and $1250, which is actually in my price range for once, for my daily driven GSX. Does anyone have...
