So i have a mgt body on my lst, and after fueling it the other day i was running it around a open field when it started making a wierd reving noise like the clutch was slipping or it was jumping in the grass and spinning the wheels for a second. I drove it over to the sidewalk to be sure, but it still did it. I drove it back to me and as soon as i let off the throttle it died. I heat gunned it, it turns out the new body didnt allow the fuel lid to close all the way so it didnt pressurize the tank, ran lean, and the head was at a whopping 440. OOPPS I thought the engine was gone, but i let it cool down, replaced the seriously ruined glow plug and it started right up. I know there is most likely going to be shorter engine life. But I am amazed that it didnt ruin it all together. It even appears to have the same power. moral of the story---make sure your fuel lid closes all the way!!!
