Both cylinders are very close in the amount of compression they each have.

RE: [Deleted]

I use Saitos aluminum engine mounts for all my Saitos for two reasons. 1st I am lazy and Saitos mounts are drilled and taped perfectly for the engine. And 2nd aluminum is a great conductor of heat so...

Please read his post again. He stated that after a 14 year storage he put the engine in a plane and shortly after that he crashed the plane straight in at full throttle. That would make for possible...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

The spacer is .5mm. It could have been thinner and still work I believe but I figured I would error on the safe side.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I pulled the drive flange and sure enough the front bearing is ever so slightly deeper than the end of the case. So when I tighten the prop the drive flange contacts the case. So it is not a case of...
