RE: Need a bit of help on my Mod Engine.
I saw the Motor in your cat build m8, You will go way past 100kph with that engine. I got the Omen in my 56inch Apache and I will be trying to get 90kph with that motor if I do then I will be happy, Also I took the Top head cylinder and piston to show our mechanic at work and he told me it was not that bad, just need new bearings and piston Ring and he reckon it will be ok, So maybe will try and see what I can do, I have ordered a whole new complete crankshaft and heaps of other parts so really got nothing to loose, if it don't work then can always go back to plan A and turn the motor back to stock. Will see.
And Scott just out of Curiosity I sent you an Email..

RE: Need a bit of help on my Mod Engine.
Thanks Henry, i need some BIG props 70 mph in play mode should be posible once i can get full throttle but thatsif it stays on the water.
i want to take it out today and try another prop, but my tachs dead so not sure if i should leave it on 80% wot and try it as i dont want to over rev it
with my experence with air cooled rc 2 strokes Henery not trying to be nasty i would say they heads dead, it might run okish when cold but once it arms up it will just loose power, the damage looks small but for our little 2 stroke rc engines thats big mobs of damage it will never run right again.
Scott you would be my first choice for a g260pum, once i finsh moving house i will talk to you about a mod 3014/2

RE: Need a bit of help on my Mod Engine.
You are doing what my plan is Henry. Once I completely bugger a motor I will dismantle it to learn how they go back together. I have come close twice but the barrel has been ok both times. My big yellow monster is now doing over 90k estimated thanks to some tuning help at the club on Sunday. I had the pipe too short and the H needle a bit too lean. It's amazing how 2 small adjustments can turn a ho-hum boat into a missile. I think it's doing over 90 because there was a boat doing 88k and mine was able to rein it in in the length on one straight. My gps batteries were flat.
