also it keeps wrecking clutch bearings within 15 minutes of run time and they are like bottom bearing is weled to the crankshaft .
this engine is really powerfull and absolutly flies but not sure what to do to get it better .
i know how to tune an engine reasnobly well and are stumped by it..
any help would be appreciated.
cheers
Dave:fla ming:
decrease in runtime is more than likely a combination of your trucks fuel tank leaking out fuel and inefficient drivetrain and for the clutch bearings , hmmmmmmm i would highly doubt it has anything to do with the actual engine itself i personally have never had any issue of the such related to the engine .


and btw , i ran an FMS HT this weekend with 9853ss/41021 , 7mm restrictor , byrons gen2 prodriver , geared at 13/50 in my st-rr and all i can say is it was a handful in a fun way though and i won the race
