Engine pics , enjoy ,lol

[carnageUK]

ok here is a few pics of my seized engine , I know you guys like pics so give me your thoughts ,

Stripped engine down ready for new g320 promax , surprised how much grass was in the car .

Pulled plug out eventually , thought colour was ok ? .

Unable to pull piston out of head , looks a bit dark in there .

Mark you where right , quite easy to pull engine out ( 30 mins ) don't know about going back together though .

Good exercise though to see how it all goes , just gotta do diff oil and seals

Don't know y these r side on ?.

Why did the engine seize? Hope you don't do it to the ProMX

Pretty sure that plug colour looks fine.

Grass can be a serious problem, should always get it all out, especially around the coil and such, every couple of tanks, to save on heat build up.

Don't know why it seized , plug colour looks ok , maybe running full throttle to long , hoping you guys can throw some light on it

[Oh How Original]

Probably too hot, if you run it in hot weather, tank after tank with prolonged full throttle runs and a grass covered engine... That's a recipe for a seize really.

Deffo heat seize Dave we where belting round all day...lol and when I stopped to clean the grass outa mine you kept on blasting..

case outerwears or mesh mod stops the grass biuld up around the coil/head just have to fish it out from under the engine..

Do I need to grease them mark , seen somewhere boots have to be filled with grease ?

[mark35]

Ye mate, put grease in em.

[Oh How Original]

Correct me if I'm wrong but you have to slightly trim the boot on the cup side to stop it binding?

Just a tip in case you fit it and then can barely turn your wheels lol.

You'll also need to trim the boot on the other end to fit over the shaft, as the sc axles are thicker. That's if you use hostile boots.

It depends on the grease you use. You cannot use petroleum based grease with them. Fast eddy grease is safe with the black hostiles.
