Hello, The ancer to your question is yes and no. The main thing with an aac construction engine is when you first start the engine don't rev it cold. what i do is rase the idle with the transmitter triger just a litle and hold it there with my outher hand on the engine head and wait antill the engine begens to get some temp into it. AAC engines will ware much faster when run cold you must pre warm them befor you start kaining them. That will make your engine last longer. the outher main thing with a sirio 21 wcr intregral aac engine is the liner it has 4 screws holding it to the block they are not m3 or m4 screws there imperal size you must use a 2/32 of an inch hex key this is unique to the 21 wcr engine all the outher screws are metric sizes. apart from that run it as per any normal onroad engine use a high quality fuel somthing like tornado or werks white lightnig. 10% oil max for this engine and efra 2013pipe and conical header for max paformance the efra2008 is good the the 2013 is better. Let me know if you have any more questions. Regards Jeremy.
