The play on a fresh Novarossi engine is 0.02mm. 5mm on the rod and 4.98 on the crakpin. It is wise to run a tank with a slight rich adjustment so the first surface roughness is taken away.

On the telemetry my JP 35+ did reach just over 46.000 rpm. Manufacturers are saying 2.7hp in the specs but I believe on a dyno it is about 2hp max.
