The REAL permanent solution is for US Motor Power to be convinced to supply the super screws in every engine they sell, as Mr. Bonbright suggests. That'd amortize the cost over a large base and lower the cost per set of screws to a level that's manageable for the racing group as well as for the engine buyer. It would be a good deal for all. Now all we need is a spokesperson with the energy to confer with the powers that be at USMP. Knowing someone on "the inside" would help. The problem with this, is also in the solution.... The fact that they are reusable means fewer screws sold. Fewer screws sold means higher cost. Higher cost means fewer screws bought. Fewer screws bought means higher cost per screw... AAAAUUGGGHHH!
