Perfect timing for the TR... got hold of it today!!!
Observations so far... the machining is better than the NR except for the con rod which is a bit 'industrial!'. The chrome finish on the cylinder appears a finer pitch honing.
Crank shaft is much better m/c (probably has been shot peened and coated) has a slope cut into the carb entry position (read the JP bit of epoxy but in metal!) However, there is a LOT of room for improvment here!!!!
The cuts on the cylinder is a bit more conservative than the NR, which is to be expected from OS!!
Cooling head is 2.5mm and 1 fin less than the NR... could be looking at the Kawa head here!!!!
The carb looks a little horrid from the outside- has no low speed 'needle' adjustment but the low speed is adjusted by what is the mid speed on the NR- will have to see how this works out! The carb is true 5.5mm the NR is supposed to be 5.4mm but most of the ones I have measured is 5.3mm!
Will have to see how this performs...... run in on Saturday.... maybe!!!!

PS- The BLUE head and BLUE Kyosho centax looks very nice!!!
I weighed the Kyosho blue flywheel it is 13g whilst the Kawa lighten MTX flywheel is 12g..... I have taken too many flywheels off tonight to measure the Mugen purple centax flywheel but expect this to be in the region of 15g.
The original Mugen 3 shoe flywheel comes in at 13g also!!! How can you tell I have bought a set of digital scales!!!! Just more information to remember!!!!!

the air filter wont be in so soon as my friend is till sourcing it at the time being.
will tell you later.
I will end up using paris pipe on all my GP as it is so durable that you dont need to care much about it.

One more thing... I have found the M Speed head also fits the OS TR.... in fact it appears to be a better fit on the OS than NR!!

wow, OS TR !!! scary !
you dont need to run in OS that much as it has less compression the the novarossi engines.

You still get the piston 'lock' with the engine new!! Actually I was a little disappointed with my RS- 4 tanks for fuel and the piston doesn't lock up at all..... I remember my MT took at least 8 tanks of fuel before it got to this stage.... same run-in process!!! I think the RS is ready for some 'rich' runs on the ground already!!

But it does appear to have obvious areas for improvement!
