I think I will do the old Supertigers too. They seem to idle too cool.
I am going to run the Engine for the first time next week, I am still fiddeling with the engine mount, would love to use the back plate bolts (M3), but as an other modelist said,, "its a risk to take and can be expensive" so its important for me to have it confirmed that there is no issues at all and well proven... I am going to use the Engine in a "Northstar" so there is no issues with the heatsink, I just want to save weight by not using a convensional Engine mount..
I hope my Engine will idle and run fine ;-) //Rob
