picco based engines have different gaskets but all others fit fine

Steel rear bearing for Keep-on .21
 

Rebuilt a Keep-on .21 for a noob and need a rear bearing. The ceramic for that engine is so expensive, I do remember using a steel ball rear bearing for that engine. Does anybody remember the part #?

16006

Or modify the crankcase

Hey guys,
I'm really keen to get my hands on a nova or 2,
Gotta have one if your into 1/8 😂
Novarossi mephisto .21 still a good engine now days?

​​​​​I have the opportunity to buy a brand new one

​​​​​​​Cheers

I like mine . No complaints. Might be a pain finding glow plugs

OS plugs work fine

Hi Everyone,

For my MITO 35 GT 5/17 engine:
Do you know if I can use:
- NOVAROSSI 85028 Ø14.5mm DLC CORSA EXTRA LUNGA crankshaft (use in the Mephisto GT5) to replace the 85027-T which is Corsa Lunga (original one of the Mito GT 5/17)

Thx
Giles)

Does anyone know if .21+ pullstarts are universal? Keep breaking my truggy 28-8 spring in the savage with minimal length pulls.

Hi guys - this thread is a bit too long to read all pages and I can’t find anything directly related using the search function with an efficient answer to the following (if anyone has input please feel free to chime in).

I have seen a bunch of nova’s on sale online lately - thinking of picking one up - I wanted to get impressions on what the expected differences are in terms of on track experience between a mito35, plus21 and a mephisto?

i thought I read that the mito35 was considered their top of the line engine but is it actually faster, easier to run, wider power range, etc than the others ?

Are there applications (in 1/8 GP) where any of those motors stand out better than the others?

They are all about the same performance...but to be honest I'd not buy a Nova now (offroad excluded) as parts will only get harder to find. Get an OS based engine for 21 onroad.

It really looks like Nova is slowly ramping up production again. I still can't quite believe it as we don't have an official statement but there are a few sightings of 2021 spec engines online and Gimar has a new Nova based 2021 line of engines too.

Oh yea, if you want your tin foil hats to glow red-hot. There's a shop in HK that's been getting Novarossi deliveries all throughout 2020, while most other distributors claim they can't even get a solid response from Novarossi: https://www.facebook.com/page/133554...h/?q=novarossi.

The Gimar engine has a P5XLT crank case. Team Corona probably ordered a lot of old stock from Nova at a good price.

Not that what I'm saying is nothing more than speculation, but it seems that Novarossi marine seems to be in some sort of loop with Novarossi. Apparently there is something going on in Northern Italy. Maybe they are using this time to restructure the company and their line of engines. https://www.facebook.com/NovarossiMarineUSA
