Mr afm,
What do your sources say about the cranks in the worlds edition snapping off near the rod pin.
Nearly Every one that has one here in Aus has copped this.
Is there a replacement rod mind u thengine damage sustained is major.
My one lasted run in period and 1/2 a meeting.

I would suggest that you contact Andrea Rossi (the man) through the Sirio forum in their own web page, or send him an e-mail trough contacts in the same web page.

Since November last year, I'm Southamerican dealer for STS Racing, and I never got the WCR Sirios, so I can't tell you what issues are around those engines.
My guess would be that since they had a hardened crank, it might have been to much, so material snaps in certain conditions, but as I say, it's my personal opinion.

Still, Sirio's are great engines, and in the process of evolution all manufacturers make mistakes now and then..........have fun.
