Did you buy it at a LHS or from an on line shop? If you had spent a little more and bought it locally, then you would have some help, if not rots of ruck. If you send it to duratrash, they might warranty it, but as mentioned, they probably won't because the engine was probably tuned too lean and not a defect. They may replace it at cost, which will teach you a valuable lesson, or you could skip all that and get a descent engine and learn how to tune it to live. We all, or most of us did, kill one learning, so you aint in this alone. When it said the break in period was important to the overall life of the engine, re-read that part next time and believe it. You can get 5 gallons through a good engine, but not one in an evader. My OPS started its fourth this weekend, still runs well enough to place. Just be glad you were not running a RB Concepts 8 port or you would be crying, but you could buy 3 evaders for the price of one. Good Luck.
