    Or perhaps a brief over-rev to 7500 rpm?

    Nope never had a problem with burning oil. Believe me I am stumped! Anyone live near Dyersburg, TN and want to come check it out for me? LOL No one around here has ever seen one and I sure as he** am not going to let them try to fix it! Would rather haul it back to hometown 5 hours away to mechanic and have him fix it. At least I know he knows what he is doing.

    Maybe Lisa's (VXCrazy) VX can live on...
    All her damage is on the side. I know she took GREAT care and babied her VX. Maybe it could be bought back from the insurance company and the engine swapped! Might be worth talking to her or Tone.

    Great idea she even said it was still running after the wreck! What a machine!
