Only thing that i am worried about is the rear tire and belt. Engine blows just fix it too. It's got some parts in the lower end that a lot of people did not do to their builds that are not blowing up everywhere. You can blow a 96 or any of them up if you really try.

Let us know how that works for yours, I am going to use mine as it comes out of the box and see how it holds up. Like hydro says, if it fails I will fix it.

Runs great in the cold we have here now and am wondering how it will be in the summer weather. Well, no matter what the turnout is with this motor i still have the whole 96 laying in the 120 shipping foam. Very glad i got the crate motor vs. using the cases from the 96. What no 120R blowup reports yet?

Mine blew up all over Jim's garage, heads went north, stock cam fell out, the intake went east, what a mess

que the theme music from the 6 million dollar man "we will rebuilt it, better, faster than it was before"

Runs great got 150 miles on it but it used 2 quarts of oil so far. Seems real fast but a few of my friends said they had to let off their throttle because they couldn't see or breathe behind me. Probably just the rings seating.

Man, 2 qts in 150 miles? Something is wrong. Did your bike go thru all that oil and smoke when you broke in the 96"? Didn't think so.

None. Runs perfect hasn't missed a beat just letting the people that want to see some problems with them have some fun. Probably used less oil than my stock 96 on break in.. None 0 nudda
