Compression releases
I have a 124" with a starting problem, for some reason my compression releases keep popping and i'm on my 3rd starter, if i don't hold in them in by hand i'll kill my batt, I'm trying to find out if there are any kind of reworked compression releases,

I think we need to know more about this, so we can be try to be more helpful. What brand is the motor? Are the CRs manual or automatic? What size is your starter motor?

I'm not an expert on compression releases but I think you need to go to a bigger, better starter. That's a high compression engine you have there and if you're using a stock starter, forget about it. An All ***** starter should do the trick, (allballsracing.com) They're near Boyertown, Pa. I would measure the CCP if you have the gauge and then give them a call to get their recommendation. Plan on spending close to $500.
