Up for grabs is my backup engine from last season. A nicely maintained RB WS7 III with @ 3-3.5 gallons or so on it. This motor runs like a raped ape on the top end. On our old track layout, it wasn't too good since it was a low speed and technical track, but this engine cleared everything without issue, including our large 25 foot double out of a corner. Just didn't suit my driving style so it was relegated to a backup engine.
Our new layout suits this engine MUCH better, but I fell into an EB Mods LRP28 (Thanks Scrogg!) that I will be using as a backup engine instead for this season so this RB needs to find a new home.
I just had the sleeve MILDY pinched to boost the compression back up to keep it running in tip top shape. It has bearings in it that have maybe a half gallon on them. Everything is in very nice shape. The piston does have a little knick in the crown, but it was like this when I got it in trade, and I have raced it 3 or 4 times this way and it runs absolutely perfectly.
It has NOT been started since the pinch was done (literally just picked up the sleeve at PNB this past weekend)....so it will need a few tanks of break in for sure. This engine didn't NEED the pinch, but at the flywheel there wasn't too much compression, even though she ran better than my main engine. I had a very mild pinch done to it since the engine was already in the "sweet spot". Now she has plenty of compression at the flywheel to hold herself up. I was originally going to trade this away, and the trader requested a pinch as well....then backed out on me. No big deal...up she goes!

Looking to get $170 shipped for this rocketship. Will consider trades....let me know what you have.
