Put an extension down there and see what it is. How did you break the motor in?

It could be worse... I was beating the shit out of my last motor less than an hour after i got it running with 0 miles on it... Best way to break em in IMO... After puttin 15 miles on the motor it made 180 comp. all the way across the board.... A year later when I pulled the motor, it was still making 180 all the way across... w00t!!
