They are all still learning. The mistakes we see being made prove that as they are very elementary and I made them the first time I built one of these engines.

In my last two WTI classes we have had a competitor show up and attend the class, which is always interesting.

Lots of shops that never considered working with these engines back when we started this craziness are now doing the work because they have to. They are the guys that laughed at us years ago for working with "disposable engines" but today they are fighting to stay alive and they are doing everything they can, including trying to create these engines.

Just look through the magazines to see who is doing this work, you'll find an ad from everyone of them and you won't find an ad from us.. Why advertise when you have a year's worth of work?

The parts bill on one of my engines is 14K+, these "other" engines are sold completely for less than that, so their is no comparison and therefore no competition.

They might now what we know today in 5 years from now, if they bust their ass and continue copying our products.
