I'm in the process of putting the accessories on my engine. Hopefully it will be ready to get it put in and start up in a few more days.

You need to get the aftermarket tin to fit better. There's a gap around the #4 exhaust port. You need to add industrial tins to close off the opening caused by replacing the heater boxes with J tubes.
Also trash the EMPI 009... they are junk.
You're missing a M8 case nut on the top of the case. I guess GEX thought you were gonna run a center mount carb.
GEX warranty is worthless. I've never heard of anyone getting satisfaction when their engine failed.

I'll bite... What is the story with them? I know you are the man when it comes to these and I am currently running one.
