Since then the engine no longer has this squeaky valve problem. At Joe Nall 2016 I had the no.2 cylinder crack, Horizon sent me a replacement and I did the work. In December 2016 the no.1 cylinder broke and the engine was sent in. Horizon Replaced the head, piston and ring and cleaned the engine. I did extensive work on a baffling system and took off the Keleo Creations exhaust ring and put the stock ones on. Also I had to add a little to the stock pipes to extend them out of the cowling. Everything was going great till my battery in my DX8 completely died a few months ago. It was fully charged before I left the house. Happened first flight of the day, 7 mins in. I have since replaced the stock battery with the Lipo replacement. Other than some covering left to do, the plane is ready to fly. Only damage to the engine was a bent push rod tube, need to get another one soon. I haven't been on for some time due to the crash, took the wind outta my sails. I haven't flown a whole lot since either. But here is to getting back on the horse!

Did Horizon say anything about the Keleo ring . I too am using the ring,with no problem so far. I have about 3 hours on mine.
