Glen, That's funny you said that... because this was your first respond when i wanted to clear up what you meant by clearancing rotors.

I am not going to disagree with you about how you should of handled it from beginning.. but you continue to tell me to look back and read but I still don't see you answering my questions until I posted bit more details to what you might be doing.
Even in the most recent post..

here is a question for you.. So, how many engines you broke down that was street driven and failure was due to clearancing??

I'm in a field where stats matter.. so, lets see the stats.

The thing is that, in order to be scientific and state that you have experience and so called 'track record' to prove it only makes me want to ask you more question. Why? because realistically I know in order to find out longevity and endurance of the engine it would take someone to put real world miles. Unless you been building engines since you were a kid and scientifically documented, I can't quite believe what you say. I mean its like when I had a chance to ask Ianetti about his seals.. I was surprised he said not to buy his seals for street use. And I know he's a scientist and I believe what he said to me.. which was, in the real world the engine experience far more variable than on the track.. And he pointed out to me that Mazda spent their time experimenting and came up with the seals..

Glen, I understand that this thread has turned into back and forth bickering. Maybe you misunderstood what I was asking and maybe I misunderstood what you are stating.. Who knows.. I know you keep mentioning about your secrets... Sure, I respect that, but maybe as a vendor/professional maybe you need understand that explanation vs. hard number is completely different. You don't need to be so defensive when what you might be doing is something that's already been done but spec might be slightly different. Who knows.. Hope you understand this time what I'm getting at.
