The factory piston retainer/support sucks you always find slot of wear on them.Sonnex makes a real nice piece to "upgrade" it if ya will.. Looks like some circuit work going on there.

There's always nicer , better, more expensive stuff...They use some when folks want them... Otherwise he bought a lot of new tooling to do things with the stock pieces and make things better when he can that he doesn't have to charge for....

Better Customer service and products is the goal!
He just never stops trying... And Rick, man that guy's got some mad skillz too!! As I like to say, "IF RICK CAN'T FIX IT, YOU NEED TO THROW THAT CHIT AWAY!! "

We'll I could certainly go back down there, find it, and lay my hand on it for ya!!

But I don't think you want my kinda luck rubbin off on your stuff..lol

Although My tranny has lasted threw 5 engine's (Builds of some kind), and it's still holding!! So I guess my bad luck Can't even break a Garmon tranny...

Was wondering when someone would ask....lol

Little trick of the trade for certain parts surfaces....

You'd have to get with Jeff on the specific's though... All I know is what I saw and he showed me as the difference it made.. It Works!

My guess is media polishing. Good idea for it too.

Glad I read all the post...I was going to ask the same question. I just figured it was a new head port-n-polishin' tool. Insert head and 5 pounds of sand and go to lunch.
