I have been running GTB's for 3 years. Never had a problem until this weekend. Had a motor that I didn't want anymore and was well used. Sent it to Novak for replacement under their Non-warranty replacement scheme. Receieved the recon 5.5L about 1 month ago.
Two meetings and after reading some warnings on the "L" motors, I was very aware of the temp. It was all good and not running high temperatures.
Last Sunday, race started, 30 feet from the line, car made a terrible "something has broken" sound and stopped on a sixpence. On investigation, motor seized and rotor was in pieces.
Going back to Novak and hoping they will send me a 5.5R on request.
