You wouldn't have to seal it every meeting. The seal, in your example, isn't there to say "this engine has been checked and is legal", it is there to say, "this engine hasn't been checked and is as presented at the date of sealing and raced thereafter". It is then upto scrutineers to determine who needs checking and competitors to protest those they suspect of foul play. You can easily carry MSA seals across several meetings. This is exactly what occured to us in F3 where our engine was sealed and raced for three meetings before being sent to Spiess to be checked/rebuilt under the supervision of the MSA.

Personally, I don't see the need to seal engines in such a way. If you suspect someone is cheating protest them and prove it. The scrutineers will carry out as many checks as they can also. Cheating, in my view, is far less rife than people like to believe and, had competitors used the system as it stands, the likes of the now known cheaters would never have got away with it for as long as suspected.

Pooled engines can only work in isolated cases and wouldn't work in club karting, the mainstay of UK karting. People would still have to purchase their own engines for testing and club racing etc. Further, people like owning and maintaing their own equipment. Moreover, the talk of some engines being better than others would still exist with pooled engines, only the situation would be worse because people would feel powerless to do anything about it.
