Yep! its always nice getting e new engine Have got xlnt feedback so far on the Argus engines. They break in pretty easy as well. I Have been adding the included extra "break in shim" for break in. Then just remove it after 10 or so tanks. Just heat them up before each start until they loosen up a bit.



Thanks,
Lance

The extra shim is not installed when new, it is in the box . so just install it before you start break in. then remove it after approx 10 tanks or so. Some of the guys dont use the extra shim for break in. But Its a good idea in my opinion. It will relieve some break in stress on the new engine.

thanks,
Lance

You really cant go wrong with either of them. The B5's are great engines And the Argus engines Are great as well. Power wise customers are saying the argus is top notch on power. And the B5 is already know for being a very powerful engine. You cant lose either way

Thanks,

Had a couple questions on the restrictor size on the Argus A52 engine. Stock comes with an 8mm carb restrictor but we do have the 7mm available on our website.

Thanks,
Lance
