OS V-Spec / Pinch, Rebuild, Replace?
Please forgive me, I'm new to nitro.
I have an OS V-spec that has 4 gallons or so through. The last race I started having issues flaming out. Replaced glow plug, fuel lines, etc... Took it to the track today and the engine would not hold an idle consistently. An experienced friend spun the motor and said it hardly has any pinch left. When the motor is hot it has little pinch, when it is cold it has a pinch.
What are my options if I keep this motor? Any ideas of costs?
Thanks,
E

4 gallons on a vspec is nothing. Check your bearings and replace only as needed, send piston&sleeve set here in Orchard Park, and replace conrod after a easy rebreakin the freshly reconditioned-resized P&S set. You should be dialed for atleast 3 more gallons. Kind regards,

I've used ray's service before and have to say it was top notch for me. Excellent guy and he does great work. Sent him my Collari 7 port piston and sleeve and it was good for another 4 gallons before the rod went poof. I think the motor would've went even longer since it was still running strong.
