Any one know if the engine blowing up problem has been solved? I heard that there was still an issue with the coating on the rods which was prematurely coming off and the friction then was seizing the rod and the bolts goes like a bullet through the engine leaks oil and catches on fire... angry

 

 

No one has had problems with their RS engine. If you meant to say about that purple one, that that one is the one and only reported. And the fire is not confirmed to be engine related.

The RS engine is a very tight tolerance engine, when it gets to operating temperature, then nothing will happens through out the whole certified rev range. But all bets are off when an idiot decides to redline theirs from cold.
