I don't think anyone has driven one yet unless any O.S. sponsored pros who may have run a prototype can give us some some info.

Awesome! Did OS shave down the rear mounting tab or did you do that?. All my new cars have required this.

Never saw cuts like that! Long fangs and looks like they put a lot of work in that exhaust port. Get her together and tell us how she runs!

that doesn't lube the front bearing !! that actually is always under vacuum and draws fuel into the ring channel cut into the case filling it with fuel and sealing the engine.. This is why when guys run too lean the front bearing packs with dirt as with a lean tune the engine doesn't have enough fuel in that ring channel to seal itself...
jersey likes this.
