true not the motors fault but you are right. most motors I have seen thhat reved like that snaped the rod at the crack pin. Just goes to show you that the werks motors and rod bushings are tuff as hell :)

Was anything else damaged??

Guys need some advice here. Last week I posted that I ran my engine at. 300. I thought I might have damage it but it ran strong tonight.

My question is after I found the right tune it was running at 240 all night with great power, however I lost the magic run time. Before I detuned it I could get 13 min no problem. Now that I am at optimal temp I would be lucky to hit 10.

I did notice that the idle was doing something weird. While at idle it go up and down up and down. Once I found the sweet spot it still did it however when racing it ran great. What should I do to get that awesome run time again without having to go so lean.

yes guys look to make it on Sunday to post for you all on monday.
I am also going to do a video on basic tuning when the needles get way out of wack.
again i am no rocket scientist and I am not an engine guru by any means.
but I have followed Rons methods to a T and havent had a problem. So if someone is having trouble understanding the reading it might be easier on video

i just picked up one of these engines this week after a suggestion from current track points leader Carmel Tassone and i was not dissappointed. the engine was very easy to break in and runs extremely well for the price. wish i would of pick one up earlier in the season...

Are you sure your temp gun was reading right? My OD temp gun has been reading 60deg higher and I didn't even know. So I have been running everything very rich. I was pitting at 8min with the B5 and knew that was short but the temp was reading 260deg. Turns out the motor was only around 200deg when temped with a real gun. Just goes to show we put to much trust in them temp guns.

Went to the track today with my B5 in my new truggy. After a retune using Ron's method she ran awesome all day between 210 to 240. Not one flame out or even a hickup. Even helped a few others tune there B5's and told them about Rons method. There was 6 B5's at the track today which is good being it was a practice day and there was about 40 of us there.

Needless to say this man is amazing. He checks the straightness of the rod, has a bore gauge to check the roundness of the sleeve as well as measuring the piston to make sure everything meshes perfectly.

Well have he has done 3 motors for me, (2) B6's and (1) B5 he has come up with this information for me, These motors are amazing. The quality and the craftmanship in every single engine is second to none. He also stated that all of the sleeves were perfectly round down to .0006 of an in. The rods were perfectly straight and no correcting was needed.

After he told me all of this he went out and purchased a B6 because of the massive powerband of this engine.

So needless to say these motors are phenonmenal. Great work Ron.

Thanks again,

Marcus Black

DUDE!!! Marcus don't be telling our secret motor guy....!!!!! That's suppose to be top secret!!!


Nah just joshing... It really helps when you know the motor and how it runs! Its a great thing! So with that said Keeping good compression is a must!!!!
