    372 Pston swap/mod

    it was very slight , about 20thou was a bit excessive mentioning a hump bit of an error , i didnt mention it was a AM kit and with a light in the plug hole it actually had a dip in it , so when the piston was lowering , the light appeared at the sides , not in the middle , so raised the...
