Can someone tell me the difference between these 2 bearings? They are for the .12 Mito WC. My ceramic crapped out and I want to put a steel bearing in. I came across 2 numbers that are the same correct size. It's the main bearing. The 2 numbers are 16608 and 16604. Thanks in advance! Ohhh, And what about the rods? 7604, 1,2,or 3? I assume they got stronger as time moved on. In case you're wondering, I went back to Nova's after a good run with Picco..

Hey all,

Does anyone happen to know, or have used a Buku "crank case end cap" for the Nova Rossi .12 Mito ?
I have tried contacting them but no reply?

Thanks in advance.

Look what got delivered.

With the Nova .21 onroad engines pretty much the 2015 pipe exclusively with either the 5 or 6 ring conical manifold (41015 or 41016). On a fast flowing track go with the shorter 5 ring manifold for more top end.

Do they do crank case caps for .12 engines as these caps are designed for offroad use and I've never seen one used or needed with an onroad engine.

Nice but it's an offroad engine. What onroad car is it going in? A 1/8 GT? (As you've posted it in the onroad novarossi thread).

Hi Dan

I was hoping they do a "Cap Set" for a Nova .12

I tried one of these cap's on my Ninja .21 B03 (Yes. I ran it in my GT car)
I can say the engine held it's tune for the whole life of the engine. (Only having to adjust for climate/ temp change's!) There really was a noticeable difference!

I have had that Ninja for ........ must be 4 year's now and it's getting a little tired?! :sneaky: So looking at getting a WERKS GT next.

Anyway. I digress.
I can't seam to get a reply from BUKU about a cap set for either the Nova Mito .12 or which part # I need to order for the WERKS GT cap set??

Just wondered if anyone on here knew. :rolleyes:

Damn it! :lol::lol:
I thought I was on the Off-Road section.

Nothing to see here!

Thanks for the info!

So, I have the bearing thing handled. The rod, not so much. Where do I get the 7604/3 rod? The 7604/1 rod is noticeably weaker than the 3. TIA!

I'm pretty sure the cap thing was more an off-road thing and so they don't have caps for .12 engines unfortunately. Nova engines don't need any help to hold tune and run well. Other engines might but the Mito .12 is super stable and holds tune just fine all day long.

Hey Dan,

Yes. It would figure about them being designed for off-road.
Good info' on the .12 Mito. Thank you.

shorter manifold is for bottom end power...:blush:

Nope, short is for more top and long is for more bottom.

Let's think about this the length of the manifold dictates the pulse wave right, pulse wave comes out and returns its what's called getting on the power so when u have a short manifold the wave returns faster power comes on quicker I dont know y people have it backwards I have tech books that show shorter manifold is for bottom. Truthfully I never told anyone before because my car was always ballistic bottom end and everyone always ran the long manifold..
