If you intend to overtighten the plug, you will ruin the combustion chamber with a Nova plug as well, so that argument is like pissing in the wind.

people sure get their panties all bundled up for no reason...

Wheres neophyte6 when you need him/her? ;)

Does anyone have some basic race settings for the keepoff? I know there are plenty of variables, just want to get in the ballpark. I'm running the 2096/41021 with the 6.5 venturi and c6tgc plug.

5 turns lsn 4 turns hsn

good starting point

I've had great success with OS plugs on Nova motors. Just add some white Teflon tape to the threads during every change out it works great. I can post a video if you want. :D

Can you run Os plugs on a nova mill.. Man I miss those days where people argue.. Rctech isn't the same anymore..

Nobody said you cant run os plugs in nova engines , jus sayin the nova plugs are highly recommended

U silly focker Jay :lol:

Well I don't sell anything and my only sponsor is an onroad chassis manufacturer. Years ago, Nova plugs took a bad turn. For a while they really sucked. During that time I tried just about every plug available to find an alternative.

OS. Great plugs but some motors had leaking issues with them.

OD. Worked but didn't last as long and were not as crisp. I would use only as a last resort.

Picco. Worked very well but were really expensive.

LM (Sirio, Werks, etc.). Fantastic plugs. Ran great, lasted a long time, fit and sealed fine, my favorite plugs.

Old GRPs and GRP made Ninjas. The best ever but the new ones aren't quite the same.

Fortunately, Nova worked out their issue and their plugs have been fine for a few years now. I still don't think they are quite as good as they used to be but overall I would rate them as the best choice for Nova motors except for LM. There is good reason why Ileasi (IDM) worked for Picco, sold his own Picco motors yet his plugs were LM. If you are running OS with no issues, great. There's nothing wrong with that but I have to wonder why when Werks plugs are widely available, cheap and the best running/longest lasting plugs I have ever used and have no sealing issues.

Do u recommend using the 7 venturi over the 6.5.

Yes sir

You Rang...I will stay faar away from your threads and Nitro wisdom...lol...I would hate to have The houston Mafia on My Ass over Toy Cars..:eek:....Its your World Gangsta...:D

Now thats funny sheeeet , lol

Lets just talk of novarossi engines here though ;)

Houston, I didn't know you were such a mafioso.
You might want to consider some old school godfather tricks, leave a cut off horse's head in that guy's bed, stick a knife in his doorway, give him the kiss of death etc :D
Is your real name John Gotti and did you fake your own death?

Any help is very appreciated!
I go a engine from a great friend of mine (Nova Bonito) trying to help get the engine right. The tune was not holding great on it so I got it to try and get it going right. The engine prob has less than 3 gallons on it, compression is GREAT...now, he lost a plug element in the engine and I was wondering looking at the pics below, if the slight scars on the piston top, and the bottom of the button, how "bad" is that and how will it effect the engine???
The problems he had were happening still before the plug went, and there are no marks on the crank, sleeve, or sides of the piston

I would say sent the p/s and button to RayA and have it cleaned up before it is fired up again.
