Weistec SLS Engine Build, Pictures Inside!

Hey guys,

We have built a good amount of M156/M159 SLS engines and have had a few request for build photos. This same engine build is the foundation for a larger horsepower SLS package that we will be releasing soon. Also installed are one of the first few sets of M159 CNC ported heads we have released. We will be updating our website with details in the near future.

As many know the M159 shares the same foundation as the M156, all of our upgraded internal parts are compatible.
