Looking forward to hitting the black stuff with this engine bolted into my new Mugen MTX6 Tourer
Novarossi motors are very tight and can take a good 3/4 of a gallon or more to fully seat in. Depending on your method of break in of course however most come to full race potential in that general area. Its been a while since I have broken in a .12 but the one I did a while back came to power quicker than my .21s.
