Lane,
With any luck Valley View RC will be carrying the 70. They will run the engine for you and make sure all is good before you get it. Jack at MTENGINESUSA.com needs to start doing this before he ships stuff out. Chances are my engine will be ok after whatever is messed up beats itself out of my engine. It will be interesting to see how long the 1/4-32 plugs last and how easily they foul. I remember a guy trying to fly his Supertiger 3250 conversion. It always fouled the plug. I get to be the guinea pig. I'm going to try to run the engine with the stock mufflers tomorrow even if I don't get to fly it. I need to relocate the throttle servo. The engine is mounted on five layers of 5-ply 1/4" birch plywood bored out and cut to the shape of the backplate.

Thanks Everyone.
For now, I'll wait and keep reading. You guys keep posting. I'd hate to miss a great engine at a great price.
My issue is I don't have the engine experience you guys do so minor issues to you could be a big problem to me. I don't know how to check the things you do nor do I know how to disassemble and flush and engine properly.
Whatever I buy, I need it to be as reliable as possible and ready to break in.
Thanks
Lane
