I was running novas myself i paid $400 for my last one and then i ran a B5 it was faster and better milage and with the 2057 pipe it wassmoother i now have 3 of them and dont plain on running anything else and i dont promote no product if i dont believe in it myself becouse i know how hard it is these days to make a dollar for me its the best engine runs like a clock after u learn how to tune it properly lol and the support u get from Ron is like no other.

........the MG66 is manufactured by GO ENGINE. Mark at Massive Mods has been a GO dealer in Australia for a number of years. He has extensive experience modding GO engines. The new GO GX series engines are the 6th generation of engines from GO. The MG66 is of Mark's design.

If I followed the history(thread) correctly the MG66 = Massive/GO/6th generation/6 port.
It's spoken of VERY highly in this thread. It's over 700 pages long tho.
Look for posts around the mid to late '09 time period for the start of MG66.
If I recall correctly, Trey (the U.S. GO importer) sent an MG66 to Neil for testing.

I liked the reedy engine, I put the speed crank in mine and It ran great, only thing I didn't like were the hot temps, ran average 270 degrees or so, but still kept pinch and ran great. Got rid of it later on when a buddy wanted to get rid of his ninja.

It's really not about the money. I wouldn't spend more than 2-300 dolars on an engine, not with all the options under 300. My p5's are 250, not bad, but I would lke to try out a b5. I raced a b3 once and it was a nice engine, so I can't wait to try out the b5. Why not? It would be cool to have a few choice engines in my box.....

My dream box would contain.....

B5 "Most Popular for a reason"....All round power
Toro Team, "why not I'm dreaming"....All round power
Alpha red head, they sound sweeet....Dangerous
P5xl, my all time favorite....Super reliableTorque monster
Orion Alpha 7 port....Nat Champ...Nuff Said....
RB Buggy 10, "Dang thats expensive, but don't forget aboutem".....
Nova BF LImited, Just in case a friend needs one....
Odonnell ss, "Cause Steve is the man and been designing engines forever"...

I don't really want to turn this into a werks support forum but to answer your question I have no idea I have never seen a broken cooling head fin on any of the engines that we've ran here. I have heard of this happening 3 or 4 times on customers engines and when it does and I hear about it I just take care of it under warranty. Like I said though what I have heard of represents a failure rate of aproximately .2-.3%, so negliagble and something that I just chalked up to some weird harmonics thing as the heads are cnc machined billet not cast or anything cheap like that. Not sure if that answered you question, if not please feel free to post on the B5 thread.

Regards,

Ron

I know everyone is sweating the Werks B5 and B6 on this thread and others, but the best Werks motor is the Team Line B7 Pro-C .21. That engine is crazy fast. I had one and it was ridiculous. It had good bottom and an insane top. I ran it with the 97t and the dynamite 007ht pipe. I'm waiting for that to go down to $199.(hint hint)

Well I have a Orion 7 Port CRF/ABi "Alpha" and I am flat out impressed with that engine, economy is real good and it has gobs of power. Been running with a AE 2035 (Black) and couldn't be happier.

I have wanted to test with a "top end pipe" like the AE 2039, but have been told the Orion 2013 is the pipe to have for it.

Currently I am breaking i a Odonnell in my buggy, we will see how that goes!
