I just used a B5 with" bad crank pin & all new rod parts" to repair my other 2 werks motors. I noticed the combustion chamber in B5 is way larger than my older 2 team werks motors. Any input to which is better, I didn't check squish band to see any difference in angles or shimming.

For EFRA events run the 2057, it's going to have a less bottom end but a little bit more top. Right now I'm also testing some different pipe designs that we will be submitting but with all that's going on now it might take a
little bit before we get to it. Hope that helps!
Also for everyone that had any questions I was only on the site for a few seconds this weekend so if you had any questions that others were not able to answere while I was gone please post them again and I'll try to answere them for you.
Regards,
Ron

Changing the bearings in the werks is the same if you have the correct size, but if you haven't done it before or don't have the correct tools then I recommend find someone who can do it for you, there are several ways to do the front one, but the rear is very critical to install correctly, and difficult to tell if its fully seated.

Hey Ron I came 2nd place in "Arena Truck aka Truggy" over the weekend first time ever racing the truggy. It ran flawless all day long. The buggy was awsome all day aswell but about 12 mins in the a-main i stalled from being flipped over to long maybe? Marshall only took an hour to get to it. Fired it back up and it ran then stalled again. Couldn't figured it out everything was good, clutch, glow plug, everything, when i went to clean the buggy down with everything pulled out there was a medium sized rock LOLOLOL sitting right between the rear cvd and where the flywheel would be, what a freaking bummer. Your motors rock Ron. Oh did I mention I have a 3rd as a backup now lol keep up the good work.
PS: is the 2057 with the adaptor equal or less or more bottom end then the 2013?
