It looks like AA Performance in Covina might have acquired the old GEX company that built air cooled engines. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think GEX had a great reputation. My question is, … can anybody confirm this acquisition and has there been any quality control upgrades on the engine building side of things?

Forgot to say that the pistons come with Hastings rings already on them. I took all the ring sets off of the pistons and checked each one. There were several rings that were way too tight. So definitely check your ring gaps so you don’t have failure soon after your first start!!
