That contract would say the engine will pass teardown.

Pro Stock leased engines are not allowed to be opened up because of the builder secrets in them.

Manny, maybe you'd have better luck trying to borrow / rent a complete race car. that may be easier than a powertrain rental. There may be a few guys that aren't planning on going to Indy. Just a thought. Joe
