This will be the last post I make debating this. So now I should believe your friend. My info comes from the following. Intially not knowing any better I spoke to my friend who told me they are the same engines. I said to my friend, "dude they are all the same?" and my friend Steve O'Donnell said again " same engine". So then I called Mugen and spoke to someone. He said they are the same. Then I went ahead and compared the exploded view with the engine part numbers... Guess what.. they are the same. So, Steve O'Donnell is wrong, the guy at Mugen is wrong, then using the written paperwork, Mugen is wrong and so is Novarossi. We are all wrong, and you and your friend are right. Theoretically it is possible. I live in Vegas, and that is one bet I won't make.
To anyone who has been reading this and actually cares, check for yourself. The info is availble in writing from the manufacturer.
Fsturbo: I have been having a problem with Novarossi's website but I am sure it will be working soon. Check for yourself. You said you have an NS and an X12. If you still have the paperwork compare them. When the new engines were coming out, I already checked and wrote down the part numbers. I still have the part number for the piston, sleeve, rod and crank for the NS, NSR, RR, LS and LL. I am not making this stuff up, but you are "that guy" that seems to want to believe what you want to despite the facts. Obviously I am not going to convince you so I say again check it out yourself.
