notice anything extremely different?

 

[jon2]

yeah that space around the bottom of the sleeve!! What the hell is that? Hmm. what mill size is it?

I think it is a .21

I like the rebuild ease of it.

The one you linked is the Onroad version
ONROAD BLACKHAWK

Rated at 2.7...sounds nice.

Then the Offroad version
Offroad Blackhawk
Rated at only 2.2...lil timid aren't they?lost me on that number.

Looks pretty innovative.

and thus the engine manufacturers posted engine numbers debate begins. This company dynos this way, this company uses this percent fuel, it's all hard to tell. I for one know nothing of the real world power of these engines just directing attention the the age old published bhp debate.

Innovative design, but what catches my eye is the possibility for leaks when the o ring starts to give. Knowing me, I'd probably like to take it apart, once curiosity gets the better of me, then a little nick could turn into a tear. I dunno, I like the concept (ease of rebuilding) but still a little weary.

I say, let EP test it out and see how long it'll last.

Yeah EP buy one for us and give us a report!! . If anyone can break it its YOU!!!

Mikie really likes this one.

New generation engine entirely drawn in series by the full with special alloys and high precision machineries Crankshaft diameter 15 bearings with increased diameters. Crankcase-sleeve group decomposed to facilitate the maintenance and the preparation. Crankcase entirely obtained by bars of wire material to reach a very higt mechanical resistance, totally eliminating all the porousness coming by fusion. Sleeve-linear assembled with tight tolerances to avoid vibration and consequent breakings.

I wonder what all of that really means... a new form of smoke and mirros?? The design looks killer. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out.

I agree with Diver6127 it looks like a new place for leaks to start. I wouldn't be worried about any damage I would do to o-rings as I am very careful with them, but murphy has a way of helping with these things.

a regular engine has so many gaskets and parts to leak but it doesn't, proper assembly and machining will make a nice fit believe it or not. You say tomato I say tomato j/k. TO each his own I guess, I just see more +'s than -'s.
