The head bolts are indeed M3.5 and the tool for it is a 2.5 hex

He wanted to know what size driver to take the head bolts out with... they are 2.5mm like I stated.

Something cool too, is running the steel flywheel with the Orange Head will help make the bottom feel quite a bit smoother.
Dido! excellent clutch system!

These bolts are also to get with a 3mm hex, RB sells them. It could be the better choice for those who opens their engine a lot for inspection or changing headshims..

Ran the buggy with the 0801 today, tune was totally different so it's still not running to it's full potential, I noticed my high speed needle is a little loose, what can I do to fix that?

Depending on when you bought it there was an issue with the HSN oring .They have replacement orings available.Get in touch with whom ever you purchased it from and they should be able to square you away.Mine done it and would back out as you were standing there reving it.I put two on my HSN for the mean time till I recvd my replacement.

Closest one to you that would have some HSN orings would be Gregg Rieck t4ftracer (Gunnar's Dad) he is in Jersey. Or I can send you some if the dealer you bought from doesn't have any right now.
Also Rob Lindemann (NitroOB4You) is another of our team guys in Wolcott.

I purchased it from Track Star in early June, I'm pretty sure this shipment was supposed to have the new o-ring's, I'll shoot him an e-mail to see if he has any.

In the meantime does anybody remember what size I could pick up from home depot, I remember reading about that somewhere in this thread.

Yeah for the record, I still run 2 on my HSN. My engines idle and perform flawlessly too.
