S+S Knuckle or Revtech Knuckle

I'm starting another build and looking for someone who has experience with any of these two motors. Facts not opinions please. The S+S is a 96 and the Rev is 100.
Thanks for any advise,
MP

I talked to the S&S people at Sturgis last year, specifically about the Knuckle motor, as they had one on a stand in front of their trailer. They said they reingineered some things to make it better than an original knuck. I asked about the rocker tins being held down by the valve guides and they said that was one of the things they fixed or improved. It was around eight large, if I recall. S&S has forgotten more Harley stuff than all the rest of the aftermarket places have ever known. I would go with theirs if I was choosing, but that's an opinion so never mind.

RevTech is made in Korea, if things haven't changed. Maybe I'm not being pc, but that's all I need to know.

S&S is the only one I would consider.

I have put revtech stuff on my bikes in the past, as well as tons of S&S stuff. All I can say is this....there is no reason on EARTH too ever install revtech if you can afford the S&S.

My son has a 113 cu. inch EVO style S&S engine in his built up bike, and it is a fantastic motor. S&S has a super reputation. Guess you know which one I would go with.
