Could be a bearing they said, so now its engine strip time, have the choice, either prep it for the Esmeril Trubo kit i just bought or purchase a 20b and spend the extra on a real engine......mmm, wot would the rest of u do? $$$???
if ure looking at alot of track hours, go for 13b...

20b will be running much hotter by normal standard to get that the same track hours compared to the 13b

Check the regulations in your state before you build to use on the roads.
