Sounds like the crankcase is leaking air. The best thing to do is dissasemble the engine and put it back together with good RTV.</p>

RE: RCGF Engines

The bearings are install with a bearing adhesive. You have to heat the ebaring pocket to get the bearing out. Don't try to push it out untill you heat it up.

RE: RCGF Engines

Gas engines vibrate more than glow engines. Always use all of the bolts provided with the engine, there is a lot of energy in a 18" prop at 7200 rpm. We have long 4mm bolts that should do the job.

The pinch test does not work because gas engines have a carb with a chamber that holds fuel. Glow engines have a throtle body not a carb thats why it works with them.
