Its pretty humid here in the nw united states Bjarne ;)

Seriously , i used to run all the fuel out of the engine and use ARO , rust all the time until i just started dumping tank after the race , no more rust :nod:

I dont leave my cars/engines in a garage or the car or in any uncontrolled atmosphere for &ny length of time though either ;)

Mont, you mean stop the engine before it run out of fuel. And take out the remaining fuel in the tank. Than store the car ? Flat or upright position nose facing down (can this damage the engine front bearing seal) ? No need ARO-no more rust
Did I describe it correctly ? Thanks

Me neither. Always stores the engines inside my nice heated house. 20 years ago we never did anything with our engines and they didn't rust. I bet you are right but at the moment I don't dare to try it on my engines.

Thats a lil confusing to read but i think u got the gist of it , i think :confused:

Do not run fuel out of engine , just dump the tank , yes i store the car with front pointing down leaning against the wall , no bearing issues ;)

:nod: been doing this since Monty told me back in March. Now I know its only been a little over 3 months, but my plus 4 looks brand new inside except for a little carbon build up on the piston, which is $$ in my book.

14.5x26x6x6.3mm

Its an odd one

I highly recommend using the factory for replacement

elkapitan 06-05-2012 12:57 PM

Thanks boss, might as well order the factory bearing then

Oh one more are they the same size with the toro?

Yes, it will work great.

On my Toro Nero, I switch between the 9853 (strong bottom end), and the 9901 (smoother bottom, more top end). I use the 41029 header on my Mugen because of the tight fit.

I not sure if you'll need it for the Serpent though. If you have enough room, the 41021 header is the one to get.
