Shoot you can almost find a Piston/sleve kit on Ebay for the cost of a Gallon of fuel. Rebiuld it and run it into the ground again.LOL

You are exactly right Ep, thats why the hotter plug. The hotter plug makes for hotter fire, burning more oil in the process. (I think)

See when I run my high OIL content fuel, I can't get my engine to run cool unless I run a hot plug.

On the other hand, when I run low oil content a hot plug only makes things worse. So I run a cooler plug with less oil...

That's just from the 6 months I have been running my nitro engines, it's what I learned by hands on and how it works for the 4-5 engines I have run.
