RE: compression on new 49 engines
Asmund,
Please write about your setup and about how you performed the break-in.
What RPM are you seeing on what prop size?
Within 6-8 hours of running time, this engine will gain about 600 RPM, over what you see immediately after break-in.
MVVS still specify using another head shim, for fuel with more than 5% nitro (up to 15%).
