Who sells a S&S T111 engine lower priced than Dennis Kirk. Thinking about replacing rather than rebuild. Rebuilding has no warranty and S&S gives two years.
Is S&S crank good or will it move over time also. I’m happy with the power of the 103 but a little more would be ok.
My 103 needs crank redone and heads to be freshened up The cylinders honed and new rings along with the cam chest.

Does S&S warranty their engines to DIY installers?
