Still stuff out there though. I'm actually hoping to score another for the truck.

Oh, I thought you didn't know what happened. There are still entire engines out there. My local hobby store has two brand new in the box. The problem is, if by chance you have a rod break or something that is repairable, there are next to no parts out in the market.
That's the thing that turn so many people off from buying a GRP engine.

Does this happen after a full throttle run? I had a similar issue at the end of the straight. The cause was a rich low end with a lean top end.

it's next to impossible to find parts, but the engines are still being sold! GRP factory burned down after it closed, hence the controversy! Prolly did it for insurance money! they were kind of problematic to tune, but were great when you got it right!
