Of course there are the 1000s of people who have had no problems at all with their V-spec. It's weird isn't it? I actually threw some Boca bearings in mine at the end of the season tear down and inspection but now I wish I hadn't. I did it based on all the crap I've read on forums. Now I'm thinking I should have left a perfectly running (with a little over 2 gallons) engine alone. Based on all the issues people are reporting I'm curious to see what happens when I fire it back up. I know when I pulled it out it had all the power I could use on our track, was dead reliable, and looked like new internally. If it does all of a sudden develop a problem, mabey the aftermarket bearings are speced wrong?
