Pretty neat packaging on that one. Especially putting the oil filter up top. Looks to be a lot more maintenance friendly.

My brother has one in his 2020 Chapparal with the 200 hp version they run very smooth and start and run like a modern car. Oil changes very easy, manual drain seems to work well. However, they have the cat converter exhaust, which adds downstream and upstream O2 sensors, that can cause trouble....

Not sure but I think you need a specific scanner to read those codes.
