do yourself a favor.... type "lsvtec" into www.google.com you'll get like 10,000 hits and have more knowledge available to you than you can imagine.

Expensive to do a good reliable set up...better for all motor than turbo.

I have a couple of question that i cant find answers for on the search.
What is a spun bearing mean?
Is building a crvtec harder to build compared to the crvtec?

A spun bearing is a very bad thing.

It means not only did the oil or roller bearing fail and seize, but when it did it spun the bearing insert in the case or head which usually results in very difficult to repair damage.

While this can sometimes be fixed, if you can find the same thing without spun bearings do so.
