Werks B5- Good engine? Buggy or Truggy?

[nedrey82]

I have been offered a second hand Werks B5 and am considering buying it. Is this a good engine and secondly i it more suited to a truggy than buggy?

Yes, it is a great engine. I have one in a truggy, and most seem to be in truggy. It has good low end and rips up top! Pair it w/ a 2013 pipe and it is a screamer.

Check crankshaft connecting rod pin wear, they seem to ovalize pretty easy.
