I couldn't get the pin out of that genny piston. "Glued" in. It's out by the road. People will take anything if it's free lol.

Poor Genny.

Strap a $25 FT ms250 engine on it and get it working again.

It was meant to be a sacrificial lamb.

I think it bled out sufficiently.

When it locked up it rocked so hard it almost tipped over. I was like, yes! Stank bastage is finally done.

Is Castor good for any engine? I know glow engines use it, but is there something better? Why does it not ruin glow engines so fast? 9hrs is sort of a lot for a glow engine anyway.

I've had glow engine get gummy from castor but never carbon. Just a brownish tacky varnish left over. Most don't have rings to stick either as you know. Probably the nitromethane and methanol are better solvents? In my nitro rc car days I mostly ran nitro with synthetic oils.

Castor is meant for full out racing where you need its superior protection. There is a cost. Its dirty, but race engines get tore down frequently to take care of that. Or should.

Seems like superior protection is cancelled out by superior destruction.

Try KL-198

I hate colorless oils. They used some at work today. It just doesnt feel right pouring colorless gas in an exoensive 500i

Which oils are clear anyway?

I've used this and it's red, but it doesn't dye the gas red.

Generally there shouldn't be destruction but nine hours under near max load gave it plenty of time to carbon up beyond the point of no return.

I read up on it. probably stinks too lol.

I just want to see how clean it is and if it protects well.

Funny you mentioned that. A couple oils I tested that are red looked almost colorless when pouring it into the tank.

Get some and let us know. Test it at 100:1 in a leaf blower or something. Just clamp the throttle after warm up and properly tuned. Oh and start a timer, take pics of the outside temp at start up and of the units temp at the cylinder and crankcase every two hours.
