I think it's due to the fact that these little engine require very tight tolarance. If it's a little bit off, the end result is a lemon. (remember that it's a direct copy of the Nova, even a base line Nova perform really well) It's all about manufacturing tolerance.
That's what has me confused. The engine is still tight up top and upon disassembly/reassembly everything else is tight below like it should be. No leaks (except for the boot) and all of my other engines are known to be very fast. This is the first NR based engine that I've had apart (never had a reason before). The RB side exhaust that we have is very fast, much faster than this STS MT12 and you would think that they should be fairly equal in power. AND since I'm the sole Nitro engine tuner of our 6 Nitro vehicles and they all run great except this one......Oh well.
Thanks again,
