Tim, don't even bother with that guy... He's a complete idiot plain and simple.
His's life's mission is to post on RCTech and to get a reaction... Don't even bother replying to his posts... The Owner/Mod of RCTech should look at all his posts and see what garbage he's been putting out and ban him completely. They should not only ban his screen name but also his inter-net IP# from his PC/inter-net service provider... Am I the only one that feels this way??? .02

Quick question.. If I was to soak my engine head in Denatured Alcohol to get rid of some of the dirt, will it cause any other problems??

Show your skill at tracks not here.....to someone

If your engine has some incrustated dirt that doesn't come off, the better for cleaning is to use them and let cool until is warm (not hot... around 60ºC) to touch and clean it with Serpent putty or a quick blast of brake cleaner and some compressed air (done to me and gave me good results).

If you put your engine into denatured alcohol you're risking to dry the o-rings and crack them. I would not to do it mine engines.

Hey Tim, if you read my post correct, I was talking about Sirio. I was just asking why so many STI cranks are breaking. I was also asking why i've seen engines loose the fins on their cooling head mysteriously. I did not spruik the Novarossi product once in my post, so im not sure where you were reading about Novarossi.
Should existing users, or people looking to buy Sirio, not be made aware of these problems. "Please excercise some respect" for their right to know.

Cheers

sometimes I quote the wrong person. sry....LOL

Hey Rc Alan, I believe you are the idiot, by looking at all your post you always act like you knew something whereas you don't know what you are talking about, so take it easy and stick to monitoring not posting, cheers.

If you're talking about the aluminum heatsink (which I'm sure you are, just making sure), I wash mine with soap and water. I used to clean the cooling heads of other engines with brake cleaner but found that the anodizing went dull. Soap and water doesn't eat away at the anodizing.

I agree. This thread is for people who are looking for information or providing information about Sirio's.

lets keep this gentlemen like because some of us go to the track & some dont so lets not hide behind the computer lets stay on topic if thats ok you all know who i am the SOLOARTIST name is at the bottom see you at paris & region 12 both motors are very good i know but im just average jo having a good time

I agree with you Jim...hey these guys that post this crazy stuff and hide behind there screen name are just drinking to much haterade...best thing is not to reply to them and they will go away like a bad cold cya and I wouldnt want to be ya...

-Nick relax bro obviously I hit a sensor there some where, I didnt mean to gee you up man,

-Like your Sirios I have ran more than 20 litres in most and no explosions still orig rod ????
-I blew one STI at worlds and I know of 2 more, thats all. I also know of several nova based engines that let go at the worlds, thats racing.
-Ceramic bearing wont win races!!!infact u&I wont be able to tell the difference.
-I have lost one fin give me a break man!!!

Dude Im going to the Novarossi thread to preach about the amazing Sirios, that seems to be the go, then I will visit the Mugen thread and preach how good I think G4s are.
