Friends, as you may know I have been working with Nova for the last few months to make the last step towards an out-of-the box race ready marine .12 engine...a "boat" timed sleeve.
The engines arrived last Friday and I just had the chance to measure the timing and it is right on. After playing with several different prototype sleeves I asked for the timing to be set at 128 degrees on the intakes and boost ports and 178 degrees on the exhaust. These motors should run VERY good right out of the box and will require NO mods to be a TOP (pun intended) performer. There is of course a little room left to play for those of you who just have to take the Dremel out.
I believe these are the first truly competitive boat 12 engines ever made...they come with a very nice water cooled head, flywheel, "boat racing" size carb, and now "boat racing" timing...and another huge bonus is that the price is still only $155.
I also got tons of parts and .21 5 port engines in this order. I apologize again to those of you I didn't have parts for over the past few weeks...I guess it took longer the build the new .12 sleeves and that delayed the entire order.
I am in the final big push to finish the move from La Vernia to Del Rio and now have all of the boat parts with me here. If you need anything please either send me a message or give me a call on my cell 210 392-2271 (this will be my new business phone at least for a while) in the evenings. I ask for your continued patience for a few more weeks until we complete the move and get settled in with real internet service and some spare time!
Thanks!
Glenn
