The engines are torn down to the bearings after every pass, and are "rebuilt" as necessary.

Here's a picture of one that belonged to a friend of a friend. It "burped" at mid-track, and, well, see for yourself...



The basic costs are:

TXF block $8000.00
Heads $8,000.00 - $10,000.00
Crank $3,500.00 - $5,000.00
Blower $5,000.00
Injector (Hat) $5,000.00
Rods and Pistons $5,000.00

Thats just for the big stuff...

Take care,
ÅChris
