sicklick33,
I believe the issue at hand was the fact that the engine was purchased in good faith from an ad placed here on RCU, the seller advertised that the engine was in working order and was test run at Modelbau USA.
I don't think that the combustion chamber, bearings,and fuel ring deteriorated due to sitting for 3 1/2 months, so I due believe that the engine was mis-advertised.
It is a shame that there are unscrupulous people in our sport, but I guess this is a fact that we must live with.
