.................. My friend found a piston from a RB engine that he had lying around that fit well and pinched well still, and we then matched a conrod from a Novamega sx12re. For the moment the engine has worked fine, but only has 2 tanks since the repare.
Is there anything I should be concerned about w/ this repair, or can I expect the motor to continue running well.....
Thanks,
Havy
I thought the STS MT12RS was a long conrod engine, just like the Mugen MT12, if so, did you check that conrod lenght was the same with the Novamega's??? I think the Novamega SX12RE is a short conrod engine. If that is the case, your engine is running way under compressed, unless your STS is not MT and is RS, than you can expect good performance.
