    Seems like that would be a balance issue. VS unit?

    Fortunate catch G. Would have been ugly. Hope that there was not some interference internally that could have generated F.O.D. (Foreign Object Debris). The indication of vibration due to a possible unbalanced state implies that there may be some unless it just worked loose due to not being torqued down tight enough by the 3rd party that possibly rebuilt it. Hate it for you.

    That could have really gotten ugly for sure. I'd send it out and get checked during the off season just to make sure everything is good to go.

    It is getting replaced in the off season. Probably getting the VSRacing NextGen 7875 so we can let it free with the built longblock going in shortly.
