Does anybody know anything good or bad about this mill?

It will be going in a SP2 with the 9886 pipe.

I would avoid it, there has been problems of the head bolts stripping out and blowing the engine.

If you have a 300 budget get the novarossi 21 +5

Alright, just changed the order, got the Rex P5x instead. What percentage fuel should we use? 20% or 30%? Also, besides the torque arms, what other kingz head stuff is needed?

I use 30% and you wont need to add any shims.

I had all the KHZ but the torque arms are good I wouls also get their knuckles, and front arm holder. Then you can get the antisquats and rear toes as budget alows.

Nice list. The P5 is a great engine. I just sent mineout for a pinch finally after around 8 gallons. It wasnt done and had some life left, but since I have some down time figured get it done now.

OS Rocket does them, he has a thread on S-Grid. I think it's around $20 and you just send him the piston/sleeve, not the whole motor.

Dan, it's the same for your mill, just pinch the sleeve and it's good. Yours should last a great deal longer though without the pinch, it's still real tight.

Indeed... I was talking off in the future... I have heard that 8 gallons is not uncommon on these.
