Also, The rod that is in the motor and the extra one that came with a 4 on the wrist pin side and R on the crank end. Is this the XS or just the P5?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
any measurement under 4.92mm on the crank pin or out of round more than
.04mm is borderline and would go in my junk pile for the guy who needs a free crank at the track

the r4 rod is just as good as the r7 11th edition rod

Default An order

Mr. Montey, I just recieved my front bearing in the mail and wanted to thank you for the super quick shipping, will be seeing you again, thinking of getting a t21bf for my son, he is getting into nitro with me, cool. I have no experience with this engine, is it a good mill?

Monty,

Breakin is going well on the Houston Tuned P5XLT, 1/2 gallon through it so far, runs well, temps look good. Hope to have a gallon through before the weekend.

I noticed on the head it says P5XL, but it still is an XLT correct?

Also ordered some 87T plugs, have 97Ts and 99Ts in the bag if needed also.

Thank you for the smooth running motor....
