who copied who?
both sets have the same characteristics.
-large oval ports nearly identical to each other
-welded spring pockets with larger diameter spring combos
-Berylium valve seats
-nearly identical exhaust ports
-32cc chambers with same shaping. |

I doubt that Jon Karcey copied anything Gene Berg did. Gene certainly copied others, though .. _________________ aka Pablo, Geary

I copied Bergs slotted cam gear. But never any porting, and definitely never combustion chambers. _________________ I strive for perfection. Excellence will not be tolerated!
