I'm going to call Luis and see how many he has seen... I'm just curious..

I have seen 2 or 3. One engine was in my other first gen that I ran 19 psi with a Greddy T88 on pump gas. The EGT's got up to 1800F and the compression springs collapsed. When I took it a part the rotor bearing was fine but the tips of the rotor in the front made tip contact with the irons and also the faces of the rotor kissed the rotor housing.

Alright. Now I will stop typing. I quit!
