Sorry, we only tool up to .32's I think the piston sleeves for those are pretty inexpensive last time I looked? You might be able to get a new one for $45 or so?

Thanks,
Lance

Tom Got your message, I do have a good used case for your trinity laying around. Instead of just sending me you P/S, Just send in your whole engine and I will resize it and just change out the case for no charge Just pay for the resizing and shipping. Thsoe big jumps are cool! until you break your case!!..lol I have had it happen myself a couple times.


Thanks,
Lance

Well I spent the better half of this morning trying to break in my newly pinched B5. The pinch on the p/s was done so well I blew one of my lipos on my box trying to get this thing turned over

My B5 wasn't this tight when I bought it. And yes, I slapped on the Comp Heater and I still can not get this thing to fire up.

I got the Medium pinch on the P/S and it does look great. Just curios if anyone else had a hard time doing the break in after a pinch. The engine never once fired up for me this morning....

Dont be afraid to heat it up good. use a heat gun to get it to 200-225. The comp heaters are great but they usually max out at 175-180, and just because I've seen a million people do it, make sure your glow starter is charged good and the plug is good

Sorry to hear you had a hard time with it. A medium resize will be pretty tight. ( Werks engines are not very tight when they are new and break in VERY easily) But we have never had one "too tight" before? IM sure you already cheked but make sure your lipos are good an your motors in your starter box, etc... To eliminae that there may be a problem with one of those items. ALong with glow plug, fuel lines etc.... BUt by all means if you are sure everything is good send it in and we will take a look at it and correct anything on our end if thats what it is. BUt for it to not fire up. makes me believe there is something else going on? BUt we back our work so, Let us know what you find out and just know we got your back if its something to do with our work, we will take care of it for you.


Thanks,
Lance

Lance, Mine and Keiths B5's are better than brand new. With Ceramic bearings and a super pinch they are absolute powerhouses! Love what you do bro, just love it! For less than half the price of a new engine It feels better than it did when I first got it. Rock on brother!
