Default RE: OS Vspec question.....here we go again

I agree, if you buy an engine pop it in and race.Running procedure may differ slightly from engine to engine. On the overall the engine should last.
I have read all the hype about the Vspec and decided to try for myself.
Runin was done properly and the engine was fantastic to race one the track. Loved the powerband. I have now 6litres of fuel through the engine. The engine is toast. The wear on the conrod is rediculous. So much slop, know a paperweight. Whether its a bad batch I got or what, I am not about to cough out for ceramic bearings new crank etc.
This engine is a piece of junk. Even the Recab versions wear out.
Lots of engines produce similar powerbands and last forever. Buying a Vspec is like Russian roulette. You dont know how long its gonna last.
I race the s%#$t out of my engines and they must last. They were manufactured to do that.
Look at the differences and see for yourself.
Just my 5 cents. I wont be buying and OS to race.
