ubg had to put his engine plans on the back burner for a while, due to other things tying up his bux. But now he is in a better $$$$$ status, so he just sent a check to Bret Bauer [Bauer Racing Engines] to get back in the groove. Bret has been awesome to ubg, as he has waited quite a while for ubg to get back into a better financial state. Bret is doing some RADICAL reworking on the heads, and he also designed a state of the art rocker system. ubg will be paying a trip up to see him shortly, and hopefully ubg will have another check to hand him in person.
And for those who don't know about ubg's project, here is some info:
