i ran my 3 port race motor with the go 0801 pipe and man it was flawless. i ran against tons of p5 novarossi's and v specs and siros and was able to keep up not only in the rough stuff but in the straights no problem. very very happy with motor and especially since i was able to keep up with the named motors. thnx go engines and racefactor

If I replace the connecting rod after a GO engine break-in (around 1 gallon or so), is it a good idea to replace the wrist pin as well? I imagine stress gets put on it as well, and for $3.00, why not?

Thanks!

This refers to my post above:

LSN was flush, HSN was about 2 turns out from flush which is probably what contributed to the ultra-low temps (That and no foil around the head).

Have I already screwed my engine forever, or if I make sure that the rest of the break in takes place around 220-240 degrees or so will that help? I still have about 10 tanks to run through it as I slowly lean the engine out to make power.

I guess I learned my lesson (and found the break-in instructions on page 78 of this thread). Just wanted some input from people who have done this a lot! At least it wasn't some $400 mill, I guess.

Thanks!

It is reccomended to replace the wrist pin and g clips as well since they are inexpensive and freshen up the whole assembly

Default Go engines.

Thanks GO and racefactor. I have loyally used Go engines from the beginning of my racing adventure and hope to have many more wins with the. +1 with Will G. Go engines by far capeable of domination other engines I cant wait for the ebm5 engine for my truggy. I am doing bearings and con rod and pins and clips in mine as per Russell to keep my 5 port (5+ gallons) in tip top shape. They are the only parts I need at thie time. I am only doing it cause the fromt bearing is starting to suck air and after 5+ gallons and that is fine with me that engine has spun prob 2,304,000,000 full rotations in its 128 tank life (think about that for a second) it is a rough guess as i did the math in my head so... anyway. Go engines and Russell of Racefactor are whre my loyalty will continue to stay. Thanks Russell I ran both my Go's this weekend and the 7 port is a monster in the buggy I love it and the bearing gave up the ghost in the 5 port in truck. Oh well Ill get em next time. Thanks again Darrin @ Brujeria Cutsom Graphixxx

-GOTGO-W001 - Go Technology Piston "G" Pin Snap Rings

-GOTGO-1500 - Go Technology Carburetor Setting Pin (and does this use o-rings?)

You should be fine, the 3 port sport does not have the real tight pinch the 5 and 7 port have. If it was me I would put a couple gallons on it before changing the rod.
I am running my 3 port sport I modded a while back next weekend. I only ran it for a couple tanks and it kept up with my sons 5 port but I've never raced it.

Just putting the thread were it should be on the top, to the genuine people I apologise for starting the other thread I searched for GO instead of Go-Tech.

How do I change my name seems a little to hot for some to handle.
