Ive had 2 fail, got one to try out, second time out it broke. Got the replacement, first time out it broke, the pipes are JUNK! not to mention the eb mods extech i have. Trinity, or ugh.. team epic will be getting one nasty letter from me along with all my broken trinity products

EDIT: I got around to uploading the pictures from my camera.(Note: this engine is the eb mods pre-run in motor and has 1 1/4 gallons on it)

Notice the taper on the crank pin


This is the amount of slop caused by it(my finger is holding it against the pin so its on the pin straight, no trick photography)


random picture of the block with eds engraving


somewhere i have a picture of the piston almost going through the top of the sleeve, ill have to find it.
