Beautiful finish,
I give credit to where it due. The durability on those thing look crazy and the design definitely give more open room for modder to play around with giving it more flexibility options . If i had to choose a china doll or a billet hand down the billet longevity would out live the china doll.

You'd like to think so and should be right but not the case here,in his own billet case Ryan oval shaped the bearing bosses witch are supposed to be stronger but no!How did that happen you ask,well he say's the crank was balanced and trued but not welded and trying to make 15hp on a crank that's press fit together doesn't work so well when it's Chinese press fit.He think's the crank flexes while I'm sure the crank was clocked to cause the bearings to elongate their bosses.Myself and others have spun 12k in the stock case without issue and they last a long time it's the top end that has issues!One of this cases issues and I warned Ryan and others right from the start is there is alot of material in places you don't want it that will retain heat and wick heat down into the case and bearing area witch I believe is also a contributing factor to his current issue.Then there is the volume issue when he did this everyone wanted case reed but the way he did it adds alot of volume.This case has ample room for larger bore builds but unfortunately none will work to it's full potential,that am6 or any minirelli based jug at 70cc's or better are meant to turn 15-16k in race form and 12-14k in their stock form we don;t have the ignition or the crank to handle that and that's what this billet case is setup for the cheap china parts so reall it's a waste of time and money!
