Head or cylinder is warped. Or the UP isn't readable when installed.

You're joking right?

It's all paid for and everything?

Ok fair enough. How much you pay out of interest?

Really should have asked about tge Athena kits on here first though.

Yeah. Its one thing tuning a boring a 125 engine. But the 170cc kit is detuned for a reason. The crank just simply cannot handle the strain from a tuned 170cc kit. Thats my only concern. Thats why i've gone with the tzr route.

I'd be interested in seeing how long it lasts for.
