The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

[Terry Burtz, Calif]

The 2nd run of "New Engine Kits" is in production.

I spoke with John Lampl today regarding the status and other problems.

China is still dealing with Covid problems and all foundries now have to use electricity instead of coal for their furnaces because of air pollution.

The 2nd production run will require several shipping containers to get everything shipped.

The factory in China has promised to deliver the first container load of parts to the container loading facility by September 2, 2021. This container will not hold enough "New Engine Kits" to fill the orders for the 300+ people on the waiting list.

Priority will be given to the 67 people that were on the list before March 30, 2021, and they will receive a "New Engine Kit" at the introductory price. Others on the list after March 30, 2021, will have to pay $3950 for the "New Engine Kit".

John Lampl is trying to increase the quantity for production run #2 so that all orders can be filled and we will have some warehouse stock that we can sell at $3950.

When production run #3 is negotiated, it may be more expensive because electrical furnaces are now required, there is a Covid problem, and the cost of fuel for transportation is near an all-time high.

There are 2 websites for the "New Engine". One is www.modelaengine.com that addresses the technical details, and the other is www.burtzblock.com that is oriented towards marketing, quality assurance, and scheduling.

John Lampl will be publishing delivery updates on www.burtzblock.com.
