But i do know that the STS crank has a liltle step on the back of it. were the Rear Bearing sit's. So you will need the change the bearing the make the STS crank fit. Because the nova one's are the same Diameter the whole way though and they dont step up like the sts one's do.

Hope this helps

Thanx Deano, ohhh... hmmzz i forgot about the piston and sleeve fitting properly. Guess i'll have to source an STS engine case then
Has anyone modified their engine? i've modified my previous STS by raising the exhuast port about 0.7mm and i had to take some off the exhaust port on the engine case aswell. So the sleeve and engine exhaust port have been raised. If i replace the sleeve with a factory one, will the raised exhuast port on the engine case affect it, like would the sleeve exhuast port, being stock and shorter, blow out because there is no suppor for 0.7mm of it at the top? did that make sense?
