Hi guys, I need more information about this 2 engines therefore hope that u all can help me!

From what i know the new .12 Orion Alpha is a sirio based engine and i know that both Sirio evo 4 n Orion Alpha share the same engine bearing size.. So i would like to know do they share the same p/s, rod and crank? Thanks

The Orion Alpha .12 are based on or actually are Sirio XXX engines.
The Evo 4 had a different bore and stroke...and the well known sleeve layout.
The XXX engines have a much shorter liner where the TDC is the top of the sleeve.
So both...p/s sets and combustion chamber are different between both engines.
Same for the crankshaft...

Conrod and bearings are interchangeable...
