JWT never claimed to do anything, I just credit them
as the sourse in my articles.  JWT did produce the
torque plates and did lots of R&D on the best way to
produce round bores in SR20's (which is pretty
diffcult and requires stuff like bolting on a
bellhousing for machining) JWT also did the R&D on the
best ways to reproduce the factory like bore finish
which is not that straight foward either (using platue
honing with the right hone for the right amount of
strokes).  This has a tremendous affect on break in
and long term oil consumption.  So they have studied
the best way to do things for a while, they simply
don't turn over blocks to Hale.

TOO words his sight as if they have the machines in
house.

I really don't have an opinion of Endyne yet but like
I said they have almost zero credabitly in the Honda
world due to overcharging, poor or no delivery, shoddy
work, poor performance etc.  This stuff is scary to
read.  Every business will always have a few
disgruntled customers but some of the stuff I have
read is scary, like on the order of bad stuff you read
about Hennesy, etc.

The high performance world is full of overinflated
claimes and some of the claims definatly seem
overinflated.  Some of the other stuff like dyno
results are not important because dyno's can't measure
acceleration seem fishy because acceleration is
directly related to torque F=MA.

The only reason I post on this is not to challange
your judgement for sending stuff there but to warn our
comunity that not everything about this company is
100% from what I have seen.

I eagerly await hearing about your results as I can
remember the results that were avalible during endynes
glory days in the 80's (yes I am that old!)and would
love to hear that these results can be applied to the
SR20.
