You have two .30mm alu. And one .20mm copper. , this is fine for 25%

If you want a touch more torque you could reshim to a total of .75mm by removing the .20mm and replacing with .15mm brass shim

gday there monty,just a quick question if i could on motor maintenance,is there a particular time in a motors life where you would change bearings and what not for a freshen up,sorry if this is a stupid question,should i replace things straight after running a motor in or after a few litres,just curious.
what would be the signs other than the obvious that things need a frshen up,just a side note,im running a fms in my 808 and it is by far the best motor i have ever had,absolute power house,its got about 6 litres and it screams.
cheers burty.

so about a gallon and a half?

engine maint. is different and is determined by speed of engine , method of run in and filter maint. during running .

but if you are looking to be safe and preventitive maint. is what you like to do than at the 2 gallon mark i would have engine inspected . again at 6 gallons , 8 gallons and then you just never know after that .

i have seen engines go 17 gallons of fuel untouched and it was still running (p5xs)

Hey Monty I sent you a PM about the 21+4C Thanks

thanks heaps for the help monty,like you said,just like the idea of preventative maintenance,love this mill and want it to last me a while.
cheers, burty.

Hello Houston, I have on 04' p5 that I received in a trade and was wanting to confirm the rear bearing size and what is the replacement connecting rod for the motor. Any info you can share would be much appreciated. The engine has a new piston and sleeve but I would like to finish the rebuild so everything is right. Thanks. :cool:

HEY MONTY! Thanks for the super fast shipping!!! I got it on thursday, Im just about on 9 gallons on my plus 4 and i think i may even make it through the half the season next season.

Do you know if you could get part number 18000 and 19000 for the plus4. Also the Nova .15 brass shim? Just PM or email me. [email protected]

thanks for everything!

exhaust gaskets
 

Monty

what are the best repl exhaust and pipe gasket for novarossi motors ...if nova is available(backorder@amain) i would just get the nova gaskets ...i notice the rb gaskets are available ...what works best as the nova gaskets that came with my motors and pipes are really good snug fit ....

thanks

if its a standard p5 then it is 14x25.4x6mm rear, the rods haven't changed and the 07009 R7 rod is the one that you need . do you need a price on the two items?


if its a p5x then its 25.8mm

have all three on hand actually

lmk if you want them
