jdmax,
I bought an LST and had my engine blow up after a tank of fuel, I took it apart and sure enough the con rod was blown. I sent it back to Horizen and they took about three weeks to get it back to me. Since then, I have broken it in and run it on three different race days. Over all I have about a gallon or a bit more more run through it and all seems ok.
Sure, I was very disapointed that the I had a problem with the engine, but all is well now. So if I were you I would ship the engine directly to Horizen and have them fix it.
Regards,
Gary

ahhhh a thread that sheads a little light.
skyodyssey i had the same problem today. it tool me 1 year to finally fork over the money for a LST. this was after messing with a on road car that i only felt safe using on a race track. about 3.5 tanks into my normal motor break in procedure the motor quit on me and did not start up again. curiosity got the best of me i ended up pulling the head to find a piston that was pretty hbadly chewed up on both sides with metallic gunk everywhere. great looks like the pistons i pulled out of my blow motor on the real car. i have always used novarossi motors in my on road car and had nothing but good experiences with them.
my question is i do not feel like burying myself to bad by having to buy another motor. if i just sit and wait for the mach to come back from warranty. how reliable is it gonna be????
man o just bought this thing on friday on my lunch break. [
