Hey Trevor, do you think the Odonnell heads are better than stock for the Novarossi engines? I had one on my RB but didn't know if I should put one on my 21-5K ?
Thanks Joe

Hey Monty. What size is the set screw that goes in the novarossi pipes? I stripped mine out and need to get a new one.

4mm turners3215




and it is the pipe that works the best on the 21-5k jack


good runtimes as well as even power through the whole powerband , no real spikes in the 063 setup .

Default p5 or plus 21-5

Monty which engine between the p5xl and the plus 21-5k would you pick for mbx6T for a short track. I already have a 1005 pipe/ header which I could use if you think that would be a good combo. My current p5x looks like it's on the way out.
Thanks for your input.

hi monty treated correctly how good are the plus 4 for rebuilds

how long does the p/s last and would you replace the rod after breakin

does the crankpin wear out

word out on the grapevine is that you know where to get them hardcoated like the os speed

Thanks Ben
