Sure they may not need modification. But most of us just want it done!!! Runtimes are better, Idle is better, not that it didnt run or idle good before the mod, but it just feels better!! Its like a millionare who has a 8 bedroom house. He doesnt need it. He wants it!!!

No, not talking about Rick. I was referring to angling the bottom side of the bypass port like the other ports. Here's a pic, I cut out most of it so you really can't tell who modded it. This is a bypass port.

The motor did not have any name on it, a few people told me they were sure who modded it by looking at it. He get's big praises here on Rc Tech, the exhaust bridges were both cracked also.

On a multi-port exhaust, the exhaust bridges separate the ports on the sleeve.

ive never had a modded engine but it sure would be nice to have all of my cranks balanced with weights. They should all come that way in the first place. sorry if thats off topic alittle. The stock engines are so good now that its my only real complaint.

WOW Maybe that's why they didnt sign the engine... in case someone that really knows about how these engines work gets a hold of one?
