Default BAD INFO

ok, this is getting real old. And I can't blame anyone except for Chad. As he is telling people this BS. So what I have done is forwarded this thread to the owner of Star Motor, Andrea Rossi, and asked him in email, If this was something he told Chad or something he diagnosed himself. And he replied that he has never said anything negative about me or my process.

SO here's the fact about the crank pictured above, it's wasn't caused from "Quick Break-In" but from the crankshaft moving in and out during running.

I hope this helps. Now please stop spreading false diagnoses, as the facts prove engines that I've broken in last longer, and make more power..... Chad knows this because he ran my OS V-Specs for years prior with great results because I would break them in for him. This was the reasoning for me to offer this service on the ExTech engines.

So the only problem I've had is from Chad putting this into peoples heads. So now with the online post multiple people saying that Chad has told them this. Now I have proof of malicious and deviant intentions to ruin my business because I Left Trinity,, REMEMBER I DIDN"T GET FIRED BUT I QUIT, I told them to hit the road.

I hold no hard feelings to anyone who has been given this bad info. But please stop spreading lies.... PLEASE!

Im confused as to how the crankshaft would move in and out during runningdoesn't the flywheel and collet when tightened down keep it from doing this? or is it a problem with the motor that allows it to move?

The flywheel will clinch down where the collet sets. It will not slide back and take up any slop automatically when you tighten down the nut. You have to make sure the crank is pulled forward all the way when mounting your flywheel.

This is exactly how i mount my flywheel, i tug the crank forward while sliding the collect down to ensure there is no play, so im still baffled as to why my crank has worn like this and has lost its compression after 1.25 gallons.

btw, Im not, nor ever have said you were to blame ed, im simply stating the issues im having with my motor.

I have a non modified Trinity Etech .21. The connecting rod has gone bad with around 1.5 gallons on it. A connecting rod is no where to be found. And with Trinity moving to Florida, the situation is even more challenging! Is there another brand connecting rod that will work? I know I did not spend tons of money, but I would think I would get more than a gallon and a half. Is Trinity getting out of the nitro engine business? I have noticed some hobby shop running sales on Trinity nitro parts. Blowing out inventory?

The Sirio and werks rod ending in part number 070012 is a direct fit.
I just installed a new one in mine.
Amain has them in stock and there was a guy on here in the forsale thread that had one.
Do a search in the sale forums for " sirio rod"

later

Thanks Dayton! Would this be the same case for other engine parts; crank, piston, wrist pin, etc.?

I found out which rod was needed by speaking with Ed (eb mods), he told me to get the evo IV rod.
I imagine the rest of the parts are the same or atleast will interchange.

Ed or someone from Sirio could give you a better answer.

Will a carb from a Sirio work on a EXTEC?

Default extech 24 and big boy pipe

I'm having a couple of issues myself. I have the FM 24 and the heat sink broke at the base and came off. the baffling in my pipe is loose also so it make a nice rattling sound. I knew the exhaust note kept changing. I got one of the first ones out and thought this was an isolated issue. I for one would be glad to hear when Trinity/Epic is back up and running.

just a fyi, a Nova P5 heatsink fits. I haven't had a chance to temp the motor, but it seems to run well.
