I used the s4 e shaft,rotors counterweight. I was told I could run the s6 rotor bearings with this. Does your friend agree with that? The builder I talked to told me I was good to go but anyone can make a mistake. If you would like to check on that it would be cool.
I asm trying to get ahold of the builder I spoke with and double check as well
work sucks I want to be at home building a FD

Dave if your running a s4 E-shaft and S4 rotors you will have to use S4 rotor bearings. And Josh is right about the thrust bearing also. Call Bryan down ant RotorSports before you get too much further. I would hate to see you have a bearing failure. There is a reason the bearings are different ih the S6 engines. I think you can use the S6 bearings if you use the S6 e-shaft.

I research before i build. That's why I asked him before I aquired the S4 equipment.
Any other concerns please let me know

hey guys, what causes our cars to spit out such nasty flames? Is it a tuning problem or what? My guess is when you release the throttle the split second the car takes to respond to the closing of the throttle plates it dumps fuel which just gets shot right out of the exhaust but I'm only guessing.... if one of these flames catches me under a bridge I promise I'l go def it's that loud now....

Even when you drop the throttle, there still is alot of fuel spinning out that gets ignited. Thus all the emmisions crap.
Dave I was just told by a couple of different engine builders not mix rotor bearings with different series e-shafts and such. That's all.

Well, after my old Craftsman took a crap on me for the umpthteen time, I said screw it and broke down and bought a new compressor. I decided to "upgrade" this time. My old compressor was a 110v 26 gallon oil free piece of crap. The new one is a 240v Kobalt 60 gallon twin cylinder. Moves just a wee bit more air. And the best part is I can actually hear myself think with the new one running

If it doesn't work I will take it up with him. Don't worry about my engine, you have enough to worry about....BTW, I am going and picking up a spare 12A and tranny today. In case anyone needs more 12A parts.
