Well guys, I finally got my motor back today and trinity replaced the sleeve and piston at no cost. Just wanted to say " thankyou " to trinity and everybody here that helped me with information on starting a new motor. Now, I have a fresh motor for the U.S. gas champs

It's a risk you took and you trusted in the fact that thing was full of burrs and they all got cleaned out.. majority of them are fine to just start up... but, if you spend $300 or more on an engine with no warranty.. I think it is wise to check... so, don't belittle my advice.. it's good advice... you just have to have knowledge of disassembly...
so, please don't say "apparently not" because until you see someone ruin a brand new engine because of a piece of metal left behind you cannot make a statement like that.. because it's not apparent on just one engine having success

WOW, what a fast motor. Broke it in and ran 30%. Lots of power on the bottom and top. Carb. was a little hard to calibrate but once I got the settings right ( 205-215 ), it ran like a champ. I was passing guys in the back stright that were using turbo plugs 
. Again, Thankyou Trinity for the service and repair.

Pull a brand new engine to pieces?
I know this is to late, but if you didn't, you should ALWAYS ALWAYS pull down any new motor and clean it thoroughly before running it for the first time. Quite often you will find small metal shavings left over from the manufacturing process. These can obviously cause major damage to your motor like you have described.
Regardless I would return the motor to the distributor for him examine. In most cases like these the distributor will provide the customer with a new Piston, Liner, Rod if it can be shown the goods were faulty.

Sorrry quozl, cant agree with you. Pulling a NEW motor apart looking for metal shavings is something that should not have to be done! You dont pay top dollar for a new engine to pull it to bits, or do ya? This is surely a manufacturing issue. Maybe the person on the assembly line had a hang over that day! lol! Maybe the engine company has some quality issues? I have ran several motors in now without any problems, and have had good life out of them all. (OS ENGINES gotta love em!) I work for a company that manufactures transmissions for real full size buggies, the boss would die of heart failure if he thought metal shavings were in our trannys.
