I wanted to thank Novarossi for the great motors. I have been running these motors now for about 1 year and they have been awesome. My sedan has never been so fast. The power on in the infield has been great. Once again my 353 has powered me to another TQ and win. This time taking the victory in the 4th round of the Florida State Series.
Thanks again Novarossi,

Sounds to me like you got a motor that is just broken in. Hopefully that is the case. How does the pinch feel without the plug. Does it seed at TDC nicely. Also with the plug how is the compression. If these 2 things are good than I would run the motor rich for about the first 7 tanks just to make sure of the break in and then go for the race tune. Make sure it is shimmed for the fuel %you are going to use.

i have just seen your message weirdly


the piston locks at the TDC with the glowplug. i can hear some little"blug blugs" like coming from tiny air bubbles. it is tigther than my 2 race old JLR evo3.
im going to use it with %16 fuel and im pretty sure the man who i bought the engine from used with %16 fuel

should i breakin the engine assuming that it is completely new?i use WOT method for breaking in engines
thanks for the reply

I would stay away from the WOT method
I found running them in nice and slow for the first 2 litres with a rich tune around the track works best, heat cycling the first 3 tanks. and not over revving them
