Yes I believe you can freshen the engines but alot of these prototype engines have very exact tolerances and once you start milling away the ctlinders they get week. Heaven forbid you crack the head of block, put a rod into the cyl wall. I dunno what kind of parts are covered either. mean titanium valves and valve springs get used up real quick, crank bearings and pistion pins see alot of abuse at 17000 rpm. Cranks and cams get worn at a frightful pace. Imagine a crank seizing while leaned over at 140?
