all I can say is I hope you do give them another chance as any manufaturer can make a bad engine as not every one can be perfect.... I know I've had Novas give up their rear bearings at under 2 gallons and take the whole engine out Ps keep an eye on the 14.5 mm rear bearing in your p5x
just to really get you paranoid. I hope you get some trouble free running as it sounds like your due for it

Thanks Adrian. I'll keep them in mind and will try the new motor I'm sure. Really does suck cuz I really did like my 5pt. I was always giving the OS guys and the RB guys smack when they were getting pulled by my GO. The new P5XS is supposed to have a different size bearing in them to correct that issue. I'll find out when I take it apart soon for inspection. I'll send it all to Mark at Massive. If nothing else, he can stick it on his key ring.
