Whats the prop like

GP posted some pics over at .net a while back showing a bunch of different ss wear rings doing the same thing. I believe he said one or two of them had the ppg bearing mod. One may have had the double bearing mod. He said they stopped putting them on the rxps they build because of that burning.

Either the single stock bearing (assuming that's what you got) can't handle the stress that comes from your modded motor or you're misaligned.

If you're perfectly aligned in your garage then you need to give Glen Perry a call (Glen at Skat Trak that is)

The prop is rough around the edges, but looks much better than the wear ring.

I have the single bearing set up. I am going to send the pump out for the double bearing (maybe triple) set up.

that burn mark was it at the bottom of the wear ring when in situ

I was about to ask that, if it was then it's the single bearing's fault.

Yes.

Here is a quick "how to" on getting the SS wear ring out. Take a dremel with a cutting attachment and make inscisions to the side lip of the wear ring big enough to fit the tip of a screwdriver. Take a screwdriver and a piece of metal as a fulcrum and pry the wear ring up. Once you get it up some, turn the pump over, place one of the pump support fittings on the edge of a work bench. Use a long screwdriver and a hammer to tap the wear ring out from the back.

OR drill 1/8 holes oposite in the wear ring tap a thread fit two bolts with a plate and slide hammer it out.
