    We are rather small sample point and only have been tracking since August of 22. I know at least 6 more motors of people that are not members here.

    I wouldn't say it's something everyone should be worried about....but I have only lost one motor in my life, and that was on a drag car.

    I get it, but 14k for a motor replacement is just ridiculous. Having a possible back up plan would be beneficial. Not everyone can do that depending on location and needs. Seen some pretty bad ass engine swaps on here...

    But, to be fair, this is also a place people come to share their issues so things can also seem disproportionate here.

    I would also agree on the "squeaky bearing gets the grease" philosophy. FB is from what I've been told a total shit show when it comes to "the sky is falling" mentality.
