Dino,

The other day at a local championchip race I had trouble starting my engine. After several Glow plugs being burt w/o making an entire lap, I decided to retire my car for the day. Later I let my freind who has more experience w/ engines than I take it apart and revise it. It seems that the Comrod bushing broke causing damage to the piston, the sleeve had a minor scratch. The rest of the engine was fine. My friend found a piston from a RB engine that he had lying around that fit well and pinched well still, and we then matched a comrod from a Novamega sx12re. For the moment the engine has worked fine, but only has 2 tanks since the repare.

Is there anything I should be concerned about w/ this repair, or can I expect the motor to continue running well. This motor is aprox 1 gallon old. How long do you think I can expect it to last. I run Blue Thunder 30% and live in Puerto Rico.
The engine block and crank shaft look OK.

Thanks,
Havy
