There are a lot of locals running these motors also and everyone is having a great experience, getting 6-12 gallons on these motors and some of these guys all they do is run them, no preventive maint or anything. The prob is the conrod, after they get week on the pinch, have it repinched but the rod doesn't last which is acceptable but everyone is out of stock on the rods, and with grps future in question are there gonna be any parts in the future. My question is does anyone know of a different conrod that will work in a grp engine, or know of a place to get them. I found a place with the promo kits $280 tuned but without a second conrod they will all be pretty paperweights after 6 gallons or so. If I can find a connecting rod that would replace the one in the grp I know a lot of people that would like to purchase them. Also what is the latest on grps future-i heard something about BOSS engines but that they did not have a us dist
Thank you for your time an hope we can find a replacement
