Also, does anyone know what piston/sleeve/con rod I will need once it's time to rebuild?

Thanks guys!!
So is the shim rule put 1 0.1mm shim for every 5% increase in nitro over 25%? Also, after some more digging I discovered that the piston/sleeve/con rod in the Shark 10 is the same as the Buggy 11 engine, but I don't see it available for sale anywhere.......any thoughts?
