Now I just need to wait for the upcoming V1RRR to put the beast in.

Change your fuel lid immediately. A leaking lid will let your engine overheat.

On my 710, I have the same thing ( only 1 month old). I tried changing the foam inside the lid but after 2 to 3 more tanks, it started leaking again. It was alignment problem on the lid and the tank. with the new tank, problem fixed so far ( hopefully).

Re: Re: D5R
I just got a D5R as well. Although the instructions say to break it in a certain way, I decided to break it in using the "heat run-in" method.
I only put 3 tanks in it and it looks like a killer!!!! i also have a mugen X12 coming so i'll let you all know how they compare to each other.

STS D3 linking oil????
Hi to all racing people!
Can anybody tell me if they also experience having a very wet engine after each tank ran? My tank is not leaking; the pipe is not leaking; the carb is not leaking but I notice a mist shoots out from the bearing behind the flywell. I don't know if this is the cause of the engine over heating.
I also noticed that this engine only last a 5 minute heat. I was racing in a 20 minute mains and after 5 minutes it will just flame out. I know you'll tell me I have it too lean, BUT! if I don't I'm like driving a modified .10 engine. Already have an expert engine tuner work on it and still the same problem told me to het a more reliable engine
This engine is brand new by the way.
Thanks,
Roy

How good is this D3 engine?? Is it as good as Novarossi NSR 12 or the Novamax??
Is the D3 a modified engine, i mean has it been done some work on sleeve? etc.
My choice now, is to choose either NSR, Novamax or the D3......
PS: I need an engine with good low ens, our track is tight and thechnical.

Most tech support of a product I've seen of late. It's always good to see a factory support guy on the boards. Which is why my next engine will be that D5R.
Oh, Dino, thanks for the break in tips. The polishing deal with the sleeve worked wonders. If only I could get some other people from telling me I ruined the engine, it would be nice. Youshould check the 'Lapping the Piston and Sleeve' thread when you have time...

Re: Re: STS D3 linking oil????
Thanks for the reply but like I said this is a brand new engine and the bearing seal seem to be tight enough.
Does this bearing only have a seal on the outside facing the flywheel and none on the inside?
Thanks,
Roy

I think that's where the slightly-oily substance came from
