The difference is FORD didn't build Big Foot...
I have fixed/repaired dozens of Daves 860/880 because he doesn't support HIS own older motors...not a dig, just a fact.
I wonder if he ever refunded the $300 he charged everyone for the NON existent ETEC ECM recalibrate for the 872s?
just saying...BJ
Thanks too every one...my phone rings every time TJ opens his mouth...not losing one once of sleep...
BTW- the SHR880R has never bleed green...others???
A lot of people that build race motors don't support their older builds. I know it's very,very common in the dirt bike world. They have moved on to bigger builds and better things, they come up with something better. Their parts source dries up on older builds too. What that doesn't mean is that another company doesn't copy or use a similar concept. But these other companies don't build racing motors they build mild versions of the former race motor. Heck, usually the don't even build their own parts. They outsource the machining and head work to other companies. Some times even companies that build similar products.
These guys are basically parts changers, and they will fix anything because they have to. They are not building their reputations by winning Supercross races, they are building it on Joe trail rider that can't tell if his CRF is jetted correctly.
All I have to say is Kudos' to the smaller companies! After all everyone needs a parts changer. What I will say about the race companies though, is when they have done R&D and tested enough and finally come to a version they like, you know it has been tested in the most extreme and brutal conditions. One that joe trail rider will never experience, he does benefit from it though by getting a very strong running and reliable motor.
I will take my motors with a Slice of winning..
Are you sure my truck isn't made by Ford? It has Ford all over it, even on the valve covers. Weird, ahh well maybe it just needs some parts changed. BJ are you available ?
You fixed an early build motor there Hero, with a lot of parts that had never been tried together by anyone.
Just saying......Jimmy
