The Novarossi's does not behave like that and have much less pinch after 4 hours at 90 degress.
Edit: RPM's was set at 400...
Hello, I also have a ebis machine I have used with alot of different engines. They all are act different from one another. I have found the nova engines take much more time. I have done 4 novarossi engines and most took between 8-11 hrs to complete. OS engines I do for 4-6 hours. LM engines are like sirios, very very tight and i would make sure to heat to 95c or more before starting at 200 rpm for a little bit of time before speeding up. If they are like the novarossi, you will alot more time. Hope this helps
