Ruune,if you get a chance repost that pic of the decal sheet. I have searched through both threads and cannot find the post you put up with them on it. The file I got was corrupted or I'm just to computer literate to open. I've tried bitzipper and something else,just can't do it.

Got a chance to take the engine down this week before heading to Motorama. I have about 3 plus gallons on it and it's in perfect shape. Tolerances are perfect, Stock bearings look good, and p/s wear is very very good. I would say it is broken in but still having a bit more to go before it offers it's best.

I installed some TKO's in it and put it back together, next stop...Motorama. I should have a HO arriving Wednesday. Depending on what I get finished in the shop I may start the break in and start posting some videos. It's possible that I save this until I get back.

My plans are to do a break down of the engine, and what we do with them before break in, a break in video, and a finished video/time that it took.

Thanks guys!

The GX5R with a 2072 pipe is the ticket;)....the GX motors are Great and have proven to be winning motors for sure:sneaky:....
the 086 and 053 pipes are great on these motors aswell....i havent tried any of the Vp-Pro pipes yet

i think the 086 is more like a 2072 but has more fuel consumption;)
but the 053 has worked well....either way , you already have 2 good pipes for it:nod:

http://www.go-racing.co.nz/ under Tech tips, they have a real good break in and tunning guide;)...i think they are really easy to tune...but thats just me:D

They are not horrible to tune. This my GX5R was my first racing mill and i learned how to tune it. Granted I had Rex there to check it, but i got the hang of it quick. A 1 hour turn on the high speeds on these motors make a good difference. So just dont make quarter turn adjustments and you will be fine. This mill has some pretty good power to it. I would pull the trigger on it and have some fun. :nod:
