Thanks for the clarification, it makes sense now. I'm glad I was lucky enough to get my hands on a few Nova engines before they shut down. Hopefully I won't have issues with the piston materials, speaking of the piston materials do you know if the C and G wrist pin clips are interchangeable? I plan on changing out a conrod in the near future and have some extra C clips laying around but no G style clips.

You can always use a G clip insteado of a C clip. A C clip in stead of a G clip will heve some issues when you want to take it out due the missing dimp next to the wristpin hole. It can be taken out by a very sharp knive tip....

Hi guys !

I'm looking for 528x or 28-8 crankcase. If someone have laying around any 8P crankcase then I would be intrested..

Would you guys say this piston is done, can't get it to idle right

zYea that’s pretty worn.

Novarossi cx-12
 

Hi , I was wondering if someone can help me out.
iIrecently took out my associates Rc10GT that has a Novarrosi cx-12 in it. Unfortunately the plug is bad , it is a Novarrosi c4s I think. I have searched all over the place looking for a replacement or equivalent. Only to find contradicting arguments. I was wondering if something from lrp or protek could fit these engines? Or some other alternative that I could use?

Just get a medium-heat glowplug from whatever brand your hobby shop has in stock, and start there. If you can't tune the engine lean enough to keep it from choking to death without having it start overheating instead, switch to a colder plug. If you can tune the engine so lean it fuel-starves but still doesn't get up to full operating temperature, switch to a hotter plug.

I always ran the McCoy's MC-8 plugs in that engine. Don't believe they're available any more but you might find some being auctioned off somewhere. Had a little longer shank than the OS plugs for the CV, CV-R etc. and you want that for the NR engine.

since we are talking glow plugs I have a p5 motor and need a p6 or equivalent, but I don't know what the equivalent is, any help would be appreciated it is a turbo plug

There is a lot of reading about this out there. If you watch YouTube at all rajaa111 has a video where he says there is another Italian company called tca that makes plugs that’s are the same as the Novarossi ones. You can get them at bonesmotorsports.com I’m going to order some and see how they work.

Interesting as Have heard the same elseware.

Because someone says they are the same does not mean they are the same.... For surethere are some visual differences with the original Novarossi plugs.

I think we are all smart enough to know that just because someone says something doesn’t make it true. That’s why I said I’m going to order some to try out for myself.

in reply to the poster asking about his piston condition

TOAST!!!

looks like the bearing is coming apart to me

off topic but good to see you back on here Houston. Been on and off these forums since I was a kid, saw someone selling new old stock filled and timed cranks for nova p5’s on eBay, apparently your handiwork, and wondered where you went. Take care brother
