Engine Lifetime?
How many tanks of gas on average will a engine run before dieing? If broken in correctly and after oil after each run?
I also have one question, do you put after oil after each run even if you plan on running it again in a few minutes or if you are going to be putting it away for a while.

Motors have been known to last years before a rebuild, I heard of some going 7 years or more if it is well taken care of. I've seen some that are shot after 1-1/2 gallons.
Only put in after-run after a days running.
Hey, I was up running in your neighborhood last Thursday at Lime Lake in Cedar Springs! I'll have to let you know the next time that I head up that way.

I'll first have to get a nitro boat. 
Thanks for the information, I didn't want to buy a nitro boat and have a dead engine after 6 or so tanks.
