From wat I cld gather it seemed to be there assembly and not so much there products themselves... Personally I'd find a good engine builder and go from there... I'm running spool rods and cp pistons with no dramas as of yet....

Oil Leaking from harmonic balancer. Substandard headstuds.Brad from Atomic doesnt build the engines, he outsources the engine builder.

That too me just means they haven't been torqued correctly or block or head wasn't 100% flat...
