Review: Güten Tight. - Excellent machine work. Everything fit together with tight, but clean, tolerances. This set fit together perfectly with the new set of connecting rods and my very used OEM magnesium case and dual port heads. Snap rings are strong for their size. Made it hard to install, but shouldn't fall out on their own.
