I have about 3.5 gallons on mine that I have sent back to Chad @ Trinity and we will see what they do. Before I sent it back I put a new rod in the motor and it still had way to much slop at tdc.
I have another .24 broken in by Chad and it runs flawlessly. Only one gallon on it but no problems thus far. It is one bad azzz motor.
All in all I think I will break in my motors myself from no on.

Man if that is the case, yeah, i could def. see how the rod and pin would be worn!! Sheesh!! Thats WAY to much on those danty little pins and rods.
My opinion, idle that thing as much as you can stand it, do it at nite when u are just bored and cant drive it anyway. Idle 10 tanks if you can. The longer you can run that dude without loading it, the better the shape of the hole is gonna be and the less amount of stress you are going to cause. Then once you get it running, keep the RPMs out of it, keep the temps down, and the dirt out, should get plenty of use out of it. Keep the RPMs out, i mean gear the car for your conditions so that its not on the max RPMs 10 feet from take off. MY OPINIONS!!!!! dont stone me here!!
