TraxxasJunky,
I ran a P5 a few years back. I just pulled a R7 conrod OEM from a Nova 21 plus 4 engine 3-4 gallons from new that looked as could have gone another gallon. Quality item. Concidering engine is allready briken in the replacement R7 should go twice the distance.
Speedrob,
Your Sirio Kani parts arrived and is serviced. Crankpin wearis with 0.0015" low and high measurement. Reasonably good shape yet. Conrod of course should be replaced. A nova conrod R7 I have on the table showed to be with identical wristpin size+ crank pin bushing size very close hard to read but within a half (give or take a few tenths)thousandth at worst, and length from centerline is concentric. Hope this helps.Will return ship tomorrow.
