yep i think some of the older nova rods fit the go's, but they are about 3X the price, cheaper in the long run to just buy a different motor.
Go 3/5/7 port Turbo: $210
Novarossi rod: $55 (or 3 go rods @ about $18 ea)
already spend $265, plus carb issues to deal with(pretty common)
I'd rather spend $270 on a Vspec, or $150 on a novarossi n21bf or even $300 on a 21-4... To me having no headaches is worth the extra $$$

I guarantee if the same person ran a V-spec, N21bf, and Go, the same way, same fuel etc. the Go would last longer than the other 2. Some people put a rod in a Go just for insurance, I personally have seen rods last 7 gallons and only be worn .001. I rebuild 100's of motors a year, not just Go's but Nova 367, Speeds, Jx Ninja's etc. So I kind of know what I'm talking about.
So 33rd overall at the Roar Nationals in buggy isn't too bad for a guy not sponsored by Go. He was one spot away from making the A-main in truggy, I am pretty sure he was running a Go in the truggy but I can not say for sure. (Matt Gosch)
My son is sponsored by Go and placed 43rd overall in buggy and made the 1/2 main in truggy (B-main) around 33rd overall I believe. Not too bad since this was his first big race. Motors ran flawless all week.

Nice 1 Angelo
The 7 port I mentioned in 1 of my posts came through you way back in 2006 and was still running up until feb this year on it's original piston and liner after more than 55 ltrs (only 1 set of bearings and 1 rod change in that time, 3 carbs though), and it will be running again as a 5port t with all new 5.5 internals.
The main reason it got retired was that where the clutch bearings sit on the crank had worn so much that there was about 1- 1.5 mm of play.
