Got a OS xz28 truggy engine
After much time spent deciding on a truggy engine i have received the os xz28 today. The choice was limited due to living down under but ive only heard good things about this 28 so iam looking forward to breaking her in this weekend. I will let you know the results soon. Anyone had hands on experience with this engine?

I fondled a few at various LHS's when I was visiting back in the States from Germany..
Post some pics and vids when you get it mounted and going..
How should this engine stack up against the Ninja 28??

Installed it today but havent had chance to run in yet. It has a mean pinch. My bump box couldnt turn it over. I will try heating it up tomorrow.

No pics yet. I have started it but no chance to run in yet. I have a thunder tiger 2039 long pipe. Do you think this will suit the os? I believe its a torque pipe so it should be ok.

Forgot to say the pipe is a thunder tiger 2035 pipe not 2039. I will try and post a pic soon.

Its on a hellfire ive had for a while. I think it might be too mean for the hellfire but its sure going to be fun.
