[QUOTE=Fobra;5934665]And if your familiar with motors then switching the cam adjuster is nothing also. The spark plugs fugg up if you remove them when the head is hot, \QUOTE]

yes i am familiar with those motors i wouldnt have on it you gave me one I ve had the plugs break off when they where hot, cold, high mileage, low mileage, I just dont like the a 3v mod motor I know they have more potential for a cheaper price but i guess its whatever floats your boat I like the 4v alot better so thats my opinion we are all intitled to it.

I believe that the 4V is all in all a better motor but the problem is finding one. I would just look into turbocharging....

the plugs break because there is little clearance between the plug and the head past the threads so carbon builds up in between. so what most do is crack the plugs, soak them in penetrant and let em sit. then use a torque wrench to take em out. when your backing them out if the torque wrench clicks just turn it back in a couple of turns (don't remember the torque for removing).
