That piston wear looks serious to me. Could be that is considered normal wear for these new engines. I guess time will tell. We can only hope for the best.

S&S makes some nice billet aluminum tappet collars for the M8. About $50.

Lots of motor builders are shaking their heads at the poor design and even poorer build quality of the junk that is currently coming out of Milwaukee.

Maybe you and Micheal should come up with a better motor than the moco, you could call it the GREEZEY 8, that ought to sell.
