Checked mine and .70mm. Just my luck, I get the oddball.

So the height has been increased? By how much if I may ask.

Thanx Sir Monty.

i plan on running the odennel 77 plugs from now on. i just seen the the hole around the coil is alot larger than a os or nova plug, therefore it will lower the comp by holding more fuel

is this a big issue i see alot of people running these plugs

just to check if running 25% i can shimm at .7mm
and 30% is at .8mm is this correct

Hi.

You'll never see a difference in the power of an engine, if you run plugs with larger inner hole, or if you use short standard plugs compared to normal lenght.

Funny isn't it....
 
So this weekend I won the expert buggy race, and the guys were asking what engine I run and I replied, "Novarossi p5, same brand, same type, got a couple of em, can't make myself buy another kind." They just look at me after all the new stuff coming out, they can't believe that engine still puts a wooop on em... It's not like other engines aren't great too, it's just that in racing it helps to know the engine. The power curve, the tuning. It's easier to drive an engine when you know what to expect. Buying every engine out there and forever trying to make it work, and learn how to drive it, and what to do to it. You can get lost....From the end of the first gallon of fuel -6 gallons that novarossi just rips it up. Sure engines can last longer, but those 5 gallons are the sweet spot...When you race hard, engines usually last till about 6 or 7 or 8 gallons, they will still run, but not, well you know......
I had my old p5 pinched and put a new rod in it, and wow, it ran great. I had never had an engine pinched. I think it was a medium pinch, some guy in New york I think. My friend sent it off for me. If you know who I'm talking about, he made that engine perfect again. It had about 6 gallons on it, still ran, so I don't recommend pinching a really worn out engine. Send it at about the 6 gallon mark and throw in a new rod, polish the crank, and check the bearings really well. Clean the engine really well. Like 70 bucks for a rebuild....

Hi guys.

Just wondering, i think im gonna have to start looking at a new engine soon and im going to get a Nova.

I was wondering, i dont want a Plus 4, but i dont know whether to get a P5 or Toro Nero. Im Heading towards the Toro but i thought i would ask.

Thanks! ;)
