Traffic tickets shoot I havent had a liscens since 1999 LOL. If i am a good boy I will get it back nov of next year. I would like to see Russell get some of the MG66's that would be cool. I am going after the GX 5 port. I dont mess with the gearing in my cars. I belive they came the way they should be and for pipes, I find what I like and stick with it. I may swap out a restricter or some clutch changes if needed thats all.

I have recently started running a go 7 port and its running strong on a dyn 053.. great motor smooth with long legs and a stout bottom!
I remember a while back reading that people were dropping a head shim after break in at about 1.5 gallons.. I am almost too that point and the motor is starting to come alive. was wondering if any one has any pointers on how much to take out. sorry I dont have more time to re read a couple hundred posts.
I am running 30% on Od 99t or 97t plugs, thanks in advance

I take a shim out after a gallon or so. They come with 1 aluminum and 2 thin brass, take one thin brass out. This will be fine for 30%.
Do not confuse this with the break in shim, I never use that.

Basically your changing the compression ratio. This can have good or bad outcomes depending on what else you do with nitro %, plug heat etc.

Tralalala MG66 in the post from massive today..Just couldn't resist the ceramic bearing upgrade for after the run in either...
I found out from mark today that the new engines come with 2 different rods..A heavier one fitted for the run in and the spare included with the motor..these gen 5.5 rods are the new "knife edge " type ..lighter and more streamlined apparently..
I presume this is for all the new engines and not just the MG66....

HI, I know people run the dynamite #86 pipe with there 5 ports but how does the GO FEMCA 0801 Exhaust Pipe run ?
reason im asking is the dynamite is still on order with suppliers and I found a GO pipe set at a good price. Almost half that of the dynamite lol

From reading that Shimming 101 article this is what I gather for my application (Losi 8ight 1.0 with a GO 3 port sport,Dynamite 086, 20% nitro)
Either no shim or a .1 shim for a total of .4mm
Medium Hot plug, running an OS #8 (medium) right now. Sounds like I need to try a #7?
Any thoughts?
