If you compare the mxgp engines in the video and the 2022.5 factory edition engines, it looks as if they are still using the new bottom end and have just changed the top end. (outer clutch cover, inner clutch cover and water pump is the same as the 2022.5 factory edition engines)

I didn't see the original title but I'm still confused by the vid. Based on title, i assumed this was in regards to TLD. If there isn't a production rule in MXGP then what exactly is the issue/potential cheating? In any case, love your content so keep it coming!
