Every machine shop uses tool , electronics or metals from foreign country's some how . Its impossible not to . 99% of what every one owns is not made 100% in america as it is.
Then dont get me going about how certain company assemble x amount of there product in the united states to get the made in america sticker when in reality the manufacturing process is actually done in another country.
At the end of the day we cant have or cake and eat it to. Meaning we cant want world trade but close the doors to Americans buying from other country's.

you know you can buy a bigger cam that makes it power farther up the rpm and advance it . Now it will make its power lower in the RPM range. But check P2V clearnce becasue the more you advance the cam the close it brings the exahust valve to the piston. You dont need to pull the heads to check either.
