Anyways i wouldnt doubt it if i catch traction in 3rd and it snaps but i dont think ill grip enough in 1st and 2nd to break it off the line. Ive launched on slicks many times using the preloading technique and havent had any problems. It really helps

yep I noticed that so oiling should be really good. Plus acl race bearings have a 3/4 groove on them as well to really help with oiling to the rod bearings and mains. But im asuming its more for rod oiling. So im not worried about rod bearing problems. Plus after the breakin on 5w30 conventional oil im going with mobil 1 15w50 no more messing around with thinner stuff. Although i havent had problems with the 10w40 but thicker is definetly better for this build
