So a little bit on the Blast V12

1. Same piston/sleeve as a RB C6..... very nice for a engine in this price range !
2. Uses Novarossi sized rod and crankshaft.....So when its time to replace the rod use a Novarossi R7...I like this as Nova rods are more common and usually more affordable
3. Engine has a tungsten slugged crank from factory.... Nice feature for a engine in this price range

The modifications I have done to this engine are targeted to give the engine a a powerband more suited to North American Supercross style of tracks...Stronger, smoother low end response that allows for awesome short run performance... Even on our high bite track the engine effortlessly pushes a truggy around, clearing our triple with just over half throttle.. The fuel mileage is also quite impressive... Early indicators are showing some of the best runtimes we have seen short of a Werks B5......The engine is also quite easy to tune with the short needle carb, the LSN is used only to adjust idle mixture which makes tuning quite straight forward... Another thing to we liked is the engine ran quite well on all the pipes we have tested so far...... The 2058 was awesome, the 2013 was awesome and the 9886 worked awesome...We shot video with the 9901/41001 combo ...which gave us a very 4 stroke feeling powerband down low and a very respectable top end runout....All in all a dam fine engine and a absolute bargain when you consider the engine is pretty much a RB C6........
