Default What Nova/Top engine is this?

ok thinking of buying this motor of a mate. Not sure on what model it is, all i know is it has awesome top end.

Its fairly new, only 6 or so tanks through it.

Anyway heres some pics, if someone can give me a model name that would be great, this is all i have at the moment unfortunately



Any help would be much appreciated

no nothing on the head. No markings anywhere other than the TOP on the side. Was thinkin of putting it in a buggy, but if its a onroad motor it will more than likely be to gutless down low

ive allready got a few good motors, RB C6BB, Gotech 21 5 port etc, i wanted to pick this up as a spare, its only 120 shipped AUD, so with currect exchange rate like 60USD LOL.

Ive allready said im gonna buy it, for that price if its not what i expected can always put it in my BB jato or sell it for brake even hehe.
