Ziggy122 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 IS there ANY engine people near Rc Nutta? Get them to look at it? - if Stuffed it can be sent to lynx to be sorted As for compression isnt just everything for an engine Sure there is lots of compression But other things have to be takin into considerations IE After run used Engine State - ie clean - No cracks - Cooling head good nick? etc etc Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
