Go-Tech Engines Thread

It's awesome Go keeps updating and making the engines even better! Just took apart a new 5 port and I see it has o-rings on the carb pinch bolt and the revised crank. I didn't take the crank out, is the timing the same?

I also was looking at the 3 port sport, I expected a cheaper crank and other internals. Looks like the same crank, rod, piston, block as the other motors. It has basic ports and an aluminum carb and a different head for only $115, what a steal!

I am currently running a RB S7 engine. Overall, I like the RB engines because of there reliability.
How would the Go 3 port race spec compare to the S7? How do the powerbands compare? I primarily race on a smaller indoor track, however I also want an engine that is OK for the bigger outdoor tracks?
How does the 5 port turbo compare to the 3 port race spec?
How is the reliabilty of the Go engines?
Would a 086 pipe be good for the 3 port race?

I'm finding that at my elder state, I need a bright color to catch my slow moving eyes. Funny story about this topic. In Vegas, it was Saturday night one of the last qualifiers of the day. It was dark and the lights were on. I was video taping because this particular qualifier was loaded with big names. Upon finishing, Mark Pavidis says to his pit guy, "Man I don't even know what I'm doing here. I can't even see my car." Barry Baker was in the pits and laughs at him saying, "Yeah Mark, it's known as astigmatism. It's what happens when you get OLD!" It was the way he said it to him that was funny. That's the cool thing about being at a big race. You get to witness conversations between world champions and see how they get along. Those are the things you DON'T read about in the magazine. Being at a big race, the experience is more than just "who won?". It was pretty cool.

I bought me a go 7port from a-main.... so I take it apart to clean and check it out, and to my surpise it only has 5 ports plus 1 exhaust? It has the gold head, and it is a turbo plug also. Is it possible that they could have put the 5 port sleeve in it ?
also does anyone have any pictures of a 7 port sleeve?
Thanks
