Ron is 100% correct on the front bearing issue. but the bearing was leaking exsessivley in one spot and it looked like the seal was damaged in the same spot. I am going to run the engine prior to replacing the bearing and see when it is doing. if I can not get it to run "correctly" I will replace it and see what happends.

Thanks....
Hi, rods should have been here monday along with a bunch of other stuff but unfortunately UPS again misplaced one of my shipments lol! So if you are in Ontario and brown happens to leave a hundred plus engines, a bunch of parts, 600 or so glow plugs and some other stuff at your door step then you got my shipment from last week lol please let me know ;-) All joking aside I have another shipment of stuff heading out on Friday so if the last shipment does not arrive the new one will be here by the end of next week.

I hope nobody took my earlier post about my leaky front bearing as a negative toward Werks engines. It was intended as an informative post about a tuning issue. The tracks we run at here in Nevada are notorious for killing bearings in general and have taken out many a front bearing.

It's just interesting that when I lost a front bearing on my OS Speed last year, you could see it leaking pretty much before it got impossible to tune. With the Werks, it isnt leaking much, but I could almost breathe through it when I was checking it.

There is a few different methods, Ron's method is the way to go in the Werks engines, due to the tolerance of the piston and sleeve. Do the brake in according first page and you'll be fine. At the half gallon mark you should be hitting the track strong and fast.

Hey guys I was looking through my distributors webiste and seen they now offer two versions of the B5 and B6. They have the standard in each and I now see a "Pro" version. What is the difference? Sorry if this had already been discussed.

Thanks
