Reïnstall all the bearings, I had it with a R&B engine where the frontbearing was not seated well.

Not sure about the 353. but I measured my 3SCT tuned and with no shims; it has a real head clearance of a .20mm so for 20% i would add .25mm shim. the engine comes with a .30mm shim. I install an additional .1mm with the .30mm shim for 25% which gives me a total head clearance of .60mm. A little fat for 25% but better to be safe.


Pass you soon...

Adding .40mm of shims would get around .70mm head clearance this is a little too much for 20% your low end will suffer.

Would you think between the Tuned and the Non-Tuned version the head clearance would change?

To be honest I'm really not sure. I don't want to give any wrong information
I can only speak for the 3sct tuned version. But my gut says they would be the same. I don't think they would change the stroke between these two engines. Maybe timing not stroke. Again I'm really not sure.



Pass you soon...

Thats what I thought too but it happens more than you think!
There is no 100% flawless production...

I got the nova bearing install tool. will heat it up a little and smack it.
I will let you know what I find when I get home soon

If that doesnt work I will shave a bit off the collet

shimming...

yup, thought of that... but if i remember correctly, i did try 2 collets and used the best of the 2 but still need to shim it out a bit more... :flaming:

unless i need to get a special collet, i used the collet that came with the engine...:cry::cry::cry:

Usually the black steel ones that come with most Nova motors work perfect.

Another option is to find a NTC3 clutch bolt and shim kit. It comes with a few tiny little shims that fit over the bolt between the end of the crank and the holder/retainer whatever that thing is called (the piece the thrust bearing rides on). That can give you the few tenths of a mm you need.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me the factory settings, including mid speed needle, for the MR12 with turbo head? Any help would be appreciated!

wingracer 08-18-2008 08:24 AM

The mid needle should be flush with the carb body. Don't recall the others.

I had the same issue.
I shaved .5mm of the the collet by sanding it on emery cloth making sure it was taken off like it was machined off.

It did the job, I just get .3mm endplay, with .4mm fly wheel to crank case clearance.

I have a GRP .21 and only have .4mm of clearance with standard GRP collet.

Not sure why I was the only one with the problem because I can install clutches blindfolded.

PROVK 08-18-2008 05:08 PM

Why is there like 2 holes on the sides of the crankcases of Nova .21 engines.
When attaching the header do you wrap one large spring all the way around and 2 smaller ones on either side because I only got one large spring with my header.
Im new to Nova .21 engines as I have always run Ninjas and GRPs

Thanks

wingracer 08-18-2008 05:20 PM

Yep I three spring them. One long one and two short ones.
