[QUOTE=houston;6801845]havent had any issued with the silicone filling and the marvel mystery ?

Nothing yet. I also don't flood the engine full of it either. When assembling new engines, I use a dropper to control oil amount and placement so the engine receives the oil the proper places in the proper amount to ship and get fired up. After the customer gets it, it is up to them what they want to use to clean their engine. Most people don't because they feel the oil residue from the fuel protects enough between runs. I go through mine after every race weekend, clean it up, check things out and reoil the parts the same way I build everyone's engine. I can see some chemicals making the silicone expand and not adhering to the metals anymore but the stuff I use doesn't seem to be affected by the oils I use in the engines. Maybe I will take a filled crank and let it soak in WD40 and MMO for a few days and see what happens

I heard Nova engine price will increase this 2010. Is this true?

i got the distributor list and yes there are some price increases and even a few revamped engines


team edition engines

and new hotter ranged glow plugs that hopefully work

the new plugs are labeled as h instead of f or g , look for them soon .


got lots of parts and engines , get a hold of me

whats the best after oil to run i,ve been using fogging oil for years in our expensive modded snowmobile race engines and outboard boat engines so i used it in the glow engines because it lubes the cyl and bearings nice and keeps the moisture out and the motor stays looking like new inside, not that it is a cheap alternative i like it over regular after run oil. who makes the best oil to use i would rather use what most engine builders use thanks for your time

grrrr some guys tell me the plus4 and some the 5xlt... i am in a dilemma..
If i buy the plus4 it will move my truggy fast?i mean i will have the same power with my dynamite 28 but with better flow in bowerband??or my truggy will move like turtle ?
i am between 5xlt and plus4 and i am a click before to order my new engine but i dont know which
also the dynamite 053 pipe is the same with the novarossi 9853?

can anyone confirm only having physically used one ...that a grp engine tool will work on the current nova engines ? namely the p5xlt and the +4 line ...mainly i am wanting to know if the rear bearing puller in the grp engine toll kit will work ? thanks a bunch

Finally i buy the Plus 4 Tuned with a Dynamite 053 Pipe and a 41021 header
Thank you all !

The winner..either one is a great choice, i am learning more on this thread form all these Nova guys..Monty has been very helpful. I am liking the p5 and may do as he suggested and put a different crank in there.

here is a pic of my son (the one who races) he got 3rd at a money race this weekend.. Xray 808, Nova P5xlt and nova 086/long header, Byrons 30% and AKA city blocks

Monty,

Yes, Stock N21R Limited 3 Port, OD 99 Plug (Didnt have any 100's), 9886 with Ofna ] "Square" Header, 6.5 Restrictor, Sidewinder Prototype Fuel. Tested it on 2 different tracks, One is 150X70, The other was 160X60. Awesome little engine, Had people turning heads at our New Years Race this past weekend.

who won..we started to go but went to Finishline instead

[QUOTE=PowerHouse;6802705] Mark I dont know if your aware but Novarossi advise against useing WD-40 in their motors. If you go on their web site and go to faq at the bottom of the page and then go to 13th item down the list entitled, What is after run oil & how do i use it. They advise not to put WD-40 or oils containing silicon in their motors. I know WD-40 is silicon free but perhaps their are other things in it not suitable for motors. Or is it Nova wanting you to buy their oils. Martin

[QUOTE=martinh;6805323]wd-40 will break down the silicone ramp filler in the cranks and also eat the seal on the front bearing. i have tested and seen many things happen to engines and i say and recommend what i do based on actual experiences and not hearsay .

i am not "sponsored" per say by the people/companies that i recommend , i just promote good quality products and if i find a flaw in the product i will see what it takes to fix it unless it lets me down during a race over and over even after i had tried to fix.


rbmods after run oil is the best !!! rick is an awesome guy and is a frickin genius in the nitro rc world !!! his products are second to none and his modificatons , well lets just say they are vvveerrryyy very fast

happy motorin',
monty
