Glenn hate is a strong word i am a dealer for both scat / eagle and many others eagle cranks very hard to beat scats .this is where it.s comes to over all looks of the crank then getting down to putting a mic on it and checking the stroke the PEP s i think have a edge on them both but i only buy and use about 10 new cranks a year . milodon still make a never nice oil pan.i still use them i would watch there oil pumps as the casting are not as clean as they should be oil ports packed with red sand /clay from casting ?.but the pump should come apart for a prep job . last can of VHT sucked. i could eat a orange and piss a thicker chevy engine color . but use what you like i just know what works for me

I understand that you're a dealer so you buy at dealer prices, etc, etc. My question is and was, what does:

i am a dealer for both scat / eagle and many others eagle cranks very hard to beat scats .

mean? I can insert a period and get, "I am a dealer for both Scat/Eagle and many others." Then "Eagle cranks very hard to beat." What about the word "Scats"?? Or was it "I am a dealer for both Scat/Eagle and many others, Eagle Cranks. Very hard to beat Scats." Just trying to understand what you typed, not what you were trying to say.

Scats more then one crank rods (quantity ) like chevys. fords. apples. dogs.cats. Dealer someone who sell many at a volume . Engine Builder. some ones who.s makes orders custom engine parts machines to fit and builds engines that could be base off a stock engine block size and no more .like i do and have done . all i am saying based off what i do .. i used more then one scat crank.checked more them one .sold more then one scat crank . Scat.s your going to have to be better then this Roger to get under my skin . seemed somewhat clear to me?? it is not like someone on here ever posted a dumb thing or something worthless . but you want to be a jack ass so there you are. i will hand in any thing i post on here with you first so to get the ok from you.... before i cross the street Thanks

I'm with you Pat - I've never had issues with Eagle or Scat - but know there are those who post here that really dislike them.. You're certainly the one here with the most experience in building great engines. I've used probably 10-12 Eagle and Scat kits over the years with crank/rods/pistons and all were good with the exception of one kit that had incorrect bearing shipped (which were replaced and sent FedEx next day).. I still mic em out - just because that's the way I was taught and one never get's into trouble for extra time spent verifying clearances.

As to the Orange.. Yikes!! That must hurt a bit

You da' man
