I'm a little older, so a turn key solution that lets me actually get MORE track time sounds a lot better to me than playing with Reynolds wrap and a hair dryer, ha ha ha.

In all seriousness though, is it possible that EB Mods can do a break in of a 3 port for me? Or do they offer a Modded 3 port?

I like the idea of the Massive Mods 3 port, but I think it would be easier to get support from the US in my situation.

In any event, do you know who has the EB Mod 5 port in stock?

Hey Paulie

The EB Mods engine is a top choice and especially for the local support, We give great support too but being local has advantages.

As far as run in the 3 port has a slightly looser tolerance between the piston and sleeve , this makes it easy to run in compared to a 5 or 7 p

After we mod an engine we run 1 tank with a run in fuel then a second tank with one of our race fuels HB 444 . During the second tank we check the engines integrity and rev , seals and tune . once we are happy the engine feels good we then run it out , clean and re oil for shipping.

this takes a bit of the pinch out and does make it a little easier to start , relaise these engines do not peak till they hit about a gallon .

Hope this helps

Cheers MM
