the pinch is 20 from rayaracing...55 was for a pinch and new conrod.

thanks for the advice. I am becoming impressed by these engines from reading on here.

I'v organised a video camera.

Someone asked for a step by step video with sound and explanation on what I'm doing and why, and what to listen for etc and what to do etc etc for setting first the lincages and radio, then the idle and LSN, then the HSN.

Hopefully won't take too much longer to do and edit.

I'll share here ASAP.

Great stuff Flanno. Tuning on these carbs is the secret to long life and finding the exceptional performance that these engines are capable of. Can't wait to see it!

I have a new coated crank and a bunch of rods, I also resize sleeves ($15.00 SH included). I can check out that motor of yours.

the rod did not have any play on the crank, and the rest of the engine is new.

I figure that I will try the pinch and see how things work out. The engine is super clean I was hoping to change the crank and rod just to be sure that the engine lasts longer mayber after the break in after the pinch. Or If you wanna sell me a coated crank and a rod pm me. I will install the rod after the break in. and install the crank right away.

I may have other engines I want pinched so PM me anyway. I have two vspecs and a werks b5 that I may need refreshed soon.

gallons on motor are unknown..the piston is super clean and the looks pretty new, the rod has no play at all on the crank. I am talking to a local guy deadmancourt on here regarding changing the PSR and crank over to the Gx 5r.

the case, head, everything outside the engine is brand new.
