just curious what this "hyper viper kit" is. also, i've never seen any of those brass gears strip. when he puts his cases back together, does he make sure the 2 gears (brass and steel), are interlooking correctly, before torqueing down the case? also, are the bearings that the water pump shaft ride on, like seized up or something?
