Thats very true. I have had 4 GRP's now and no problems, yet I know more than a couple fellow racers who have had tragic issues with rods and bearings that caused the engines to be destroyed beyond simple repair. Unfortunately these racers dumped their GRP engines, abandoned the GRP brand and invested in other brands. Luckily as far as I know GRP took care of all of them but these guys will never buy another GRP product. I know I know GRP is done, but I think a bad batch of engines can happen to any brand. Its always nice when a company stands behind their product, but look at all the OS engines out there and with the up front notice of NO WARRANTY. It must be a non issue they still sell tons or engines and their speed line is of the most expensive I have seen.
