If I order it right now will there be an extra conrod or upgraded version when I recieve it?And if there is an x-tra conrod should I break it in on the orig. conrod then change it? This looks like the best solution for my dilema. Please advise me about the conrod issue.
Hey Fisher, I didn't refuse to help you, I told you-come to KZ we will talk.

Sure I will help you with engine, but with car's parts I have nothing at all, if something broken, I just buy it from LHS.

Sure OS #8 is a cold plug? (see http://www.osengines.com/accys/glowplugs.html )

Ive just went from a A5 to A3 in my sirio .12 and got a LOT more bottom end but i think I lost some revs, so I got a heap of #8's coming to try them

I guess you have lost bottom end power with the colder plug?.. My OS #8's came today, will be using them this w/end racing

The A3 is a little too hot I feel, advances the timing too much and wont let the engine rev out but bottom end is great (this is on my sirio but I guess other .12's would be about the same)

Im talking about Sirio but we both running same plug

With the OS A5 mine would sometimes stop (as if it flooded) but then I tried a A3 and it went no worries so I now believe the plug was just too cold to keep the engine running... Thats why im gonna try a #8...

Im using Turbo head plug...i believe u r using the non-turbo plug with washer...i maybe mistaken here...

I found the right plug...turbo plug Nova #6(grey package) for my STS RS5 Outlaw.
