Replacement Head needed

[jasonc0902]

Hey all, I have a .21 Ofna t-maxx engine . I noticed I am running 270-280 temp. I have been told blue thunder fuel will make this engine run a little hotter but that is what I am using and have. Can someone reccomend a replacement head that will help with the temp. I have the engine runnning really rich, but still running hot. Any help welcome. Thanks!

my omega engines seem to run hot, with small change at the carb. I keep stock heads on mine and I run about 280.

If you have room for it...

I ran one of these on my 2.5 and it worked great.

I don't have an over-heating problem on the Picco .21 in my Maxx.

Another good head are the NOV cooling heads. They are stronger than the ANCM heads. Nova's bring the temp down by as much as 60 degrees.

I like both ACNCM and Nova heads... They both work equally well... if anything, the acncm head cools better than i could ask for... You wont be sorry if you got either of them.

Have you tried sealing the carb and back plate?

Thanks everyone...Jon I am not familar with sealing the carb on the backplate..can you clarify for me? Tks....I will look at either head. I figured that would help, but was unsure what head to buy..

Smile...I bought that head and spoke to them as well. I think this will help..Thanks again everyone..Anything to know when installing?

Make sure everything is clean and you may want to get a new shim (head gasket) if yours is in poor shape. I'm not sure about the Picco, but I know on my 2.5 I had to rotate the head until one of the notches lined up with the HSN screw so that I could adjust it.
