I have reciently aquired a Picco engine I am wondering if there is any distinguishing markings or identification methods that I could use to determine what size it is.
Also does anyone know a link to the manufactuer of these engins ? the motor is siezed and I will prolly have to replace some parts in the engine to get it into running shape.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

P.S any one from Salt lake City, UT that can rebuild RC engins please pm me with your typical labor rates ect..

Thank you

Good luck. Picco is not very well represented in this country right now.

In the 10cc versions there was a rear rotary valve type and a rear drum valve type. The drum valve was the later one.

Ok my engine has a rear facing exhaust. with a collar<removeable> that would rotate to point the exhaust<45 degrees> in any direction.
I have popped off the back plate and removed the head with out 2 much trouble.
Internally it looks like there is a lot of dyed up fuel/oil the stuff feels gummy.
Would anyone have a suggestion on a solvent to soak the engine in the remove the gunk ? WD40 ?

Thanx again.
