Thanks Neal,
I am an RC airplane guy and have never had to replace bearings after 2 gallons on my 15+ airplane engines. Also 16 years ago, I had an old Picco (that I still have) that must have had 8 to 10 gallons before I tore it apart and the bearing was still in much better shape then the one in my P5 after only 1.5 gallons?
Just seems odd to me.

I found my problem...When pulling apart the old bearing, I created small burrs on the inside of the crank case. I cleaned the ones on the side where the rear bearing sits but not the one in the crankshaft hole.
So when I put the crank back in, it was rubbing slightly on those burrs, giving me the impression that the new bearing was scrap!!!:rolleyes:

I feel like such a diouuush bag:cry:

Hey thinking of going from the clocked p5 to the clocked Roma. I know it will have more power for my truggy. But how is the mileage?

with the Mizer inserts it will be awesome on fuel.....10 minute pits should be no issue.

Witch one for the Roma? Or is there a better one that I don't have yet lol.

I don't know which one it was as Kyle is 2000 klm's north of me and I didn't ask the question when talking to him but with two solid week's of testing and being rained out last week end, Im sure he is looking forward to more testing this weekend, cheer's

Great video!

What were you using to check the idle gap? Are those just paper clips?
