So far, the NMCA has been doing a good job of policing the DR525 class. They are very serious about keeping things honest. The seals are much different from the SBC round track engines. To my knowledge, there are no authorized rebuilders for this program. I have also had the chance to look at a lot of timeslips from this class and have seen nothing that makes me believe that the motors are being tampered with.
