[QUOTE=houston;14472031]No way guys

Its like this ,if you feel comfy working on your own engine without f'ing it up ......gitrdun

There are some delicate parts in there though

Honestly ....i run byrons ...i never run my engine out of fuel/oil ....i leave my cars pointed nose down after a race so rear bearing doesnt get messed up .... be gentle on it when refiring



I replace rods every 4.5 gallons ... bearings as necessary ... no real measure of fuel imo ... glow plugs yes you need to leafn how to read for your tune ...just because it glows doesnt mean its good ...make sure coils arent pushed/pulled.. make sure filaments not pitted or dull ,if it is replace it ...its not a contest to see who can make a glow plug last the longest ...imo if you tell me "this glow plug lasted 2 gallons" youre an idiot , replace at most every half gallon .


I hope this helps[

Thanks Houston, kinda confirms what some of the guys at my track have said and what I have pick up going through the forums.

Cheers.
