This race engine has been reliable for 5 years, refreshened at 35-45 hours yearly. no bearing wear at all at 45 hours! this engine had 38 hours on it. i hold 20 quarts of oil and run 200-210 degrees on the hottest days at willow sp. CA Speedway is tough on engines I was hammering it hard on fri and sat ( 8400 rpm's in the oval section in 5th) No warning, oil light flicker and lost a cyl Then I shut her down. Lost the case, crank ect. what a mess $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ have all the parts to build my 2.5 now!
