engine wear?

[pee wee]

Hi guys , just wondering what are the first signs of engine wear? With 4 gallons thru it by Sunday I was curious on how long the .21bb is good for. I'm thinking about getting 8 port or picco when this thing bites the bullet. I WILL have more questions on that later. How hard is it to get the picco? The lhs has an 8 port on the shelf. Thanks for your time!!

If you can spin the flywheel with your finger when the engine is cold and flip the enginge it's done for.

Questions to ask yourself? Does it start easly? does it hold an idle when hot? does it still run strong? if yes then you engine is still fine! 4 gallons thats about 16 litres. Man these 21bb stockers are kewl engines. I love mine!

turn it easly with the fly wheel

flip = have the piston go through a full turn (all the way up and down)
