What has changed with 2012 engine? I have a 2011 EDO .12 and I find the bottom end to be a bit too violent for my liking.

Bottom end
 

Hi Scott
You know you can always shim the head up just a bit to take away bottom and increase mid and top or use 16% if you are using 20%.
2012 version the casing exhaust port has been enlarge, so to run the new 2669 you have to use the 7140 gasket. You will still have plenty bottom end torque, but with more mid and top.

16% is not an option for me as my fuel sponsor does not make that. I will add a head shim and see if that makes the power delivery more to my liking.

Hey engine gurus

I have a Ofna JLR Red Dot Evo II and when i loosen off the retaining bolt for the carby the carby won't budge at all. I have tried twisting it and it won't move.

I also have a brand new LRP Z12R Spec4 and the carby is tight to get into the crankcase with out any of the mounting parts in place. Is their a secret to installing and removing the carby? Do you need to heat it up in the oven, but then the carby is composite...

Thanks in advance

Picco engine bearing tool
 

Hi everybody.

I need your help regarding changing bearings of the Picco engines.
I have the new RB tool, but it does not fit. Also the Hudy tool does not fit sufficiently, so I am looking for a tool that really fits.

I am looking forward to your answers and suggestions.

Adrew i had the same problem with an evo 3 . when i mounted the carb i put oli in its body and iwas trying to put it in place with movements left and right.with this way the made a little smaller and the hole a little bigger.if this does not work for you sant the body with 1000# sandpaper.

Thank you... any thought on getting the old one out of the Ofna?

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Bluer.

There are many opinions around with heating up the crankcase or not. I have made the best experience if I change the bearings with a cold crankcase. Reasons are various, but mainly stresses in the crankcase material.
Therefor I was asking for a tool that fits. With the heating method it would work, but I do not want to do it this way. If there will be no other alternative, then maybe, but as long as there is a solution with a tool, then I would like to choose this.

I use a JP bearing removal tool for the front bearing and a RB removal tool for the rear.
Hope that helps.
