Hello again,
Thanks for the post earlier on the shipping weight of an engine.
This morning I purchased am ST4S engine on the advice of Tom [infoage1] who's running the same setup. He assures me it drops right in and will be cheeper and faster than trying to replace the cracked cylinder, re frost plugging the vertical, and doing a valve job that was required this spring. My calculations say he's right. Doesn't make sense that an entire motor is less money that fixing the old one but what the hell. I'll take the extra power.
Now I have to get the engine from Alabama to Toronto in no more than a week.
I'll need a power commander to get the fueling right, and I hear the St4S gearbox is crazy tall, especially 6th gear. No time to split the cases and fit the close ratio box in the Foggy. Future project.
I did find a MyChron digital tach, temp guage, and lap timer for $200 on eBay in the Karting category. DEAL !
Are you running the 996R this year?
Jonathan
