I guess we will find out if the fags are up to the job since the one engine I'm building has a target HP of 140

140hp?  :-o :-o :-o

Fag bearings are good quality.
I'd be looking at my rod as a point of weakness.

You and me both. Just remember that's the target HP... that's the number I'm shooting for but I'm not sure I can reach it.  No promises I can do it but I am going to try

If three jugs are good then certainly four must be better?
