trying to remember exactly what i did on the plus4 , what did the bag say?

And the only modifications the .28 needs are top end mods , I am sure you know how to perform those ;)


Dam ! I already got one of those..... I am needing a 28-7... The prject is my OFNA DM-1 that I use in the spring time.... I will be re timing it and having a new button made fo rit, after i'm done its going to extremely radical and should behave much like a 28 sized onroad engine.... However I need to be sure the sleeve design is suitable for the project.. I already have a OS 28, Picco 28, RB 928 and now I want the newest Nova.... This is strictly for straight line running, it will never used on any track....

i think the plus 4 only got a front bearing and a carb gasket in the block. i suppose that front bearing may have been leaking cause i had to move the needles a bit to get it running good. the p5xst really came to life after you did your magic:nod:

So I got a pm from somebody who claimed that I was telling people things to say about my engines and offering stuff up to them for promotions in return :confused:

That couldn't be farther from the truth and anybody who has dealt with me will confirm this .

I am just a fellow racer like all you that happens to know a thing or two about something ;)

Enjoy your engines guys and I hope they give you long life :nod:

i dont know , i take the tags off the boxes before i even look at any part #

just make sure you dont have any stuff in your boxes that they will question at the airport , especially since you are flying international . you probably gotta claim everything huh?

pics of internals for ya

Thank you sir, one question. What temp is too cold to break this motor in?
I need to do it soon, but it looks like a max of about 50 degrees this week :(
I can keep it hot with my heat gun.

i try not to do it under 70° but 50° is ok , just use something to wrap the head .

keep engine aove 200° for break in

3 5 min. heat cycles (idle) , 3 10 min. heat cycles (on ground 1/4 throttle or so), 3 30 min. heat cycles (on ground 1/4-1/2 throttle)

do not over rev , do not overlean , use a quality fuel with at least 10% oil , 15% is great
