Self modifying zenoahs
Ok guys time to tell all who has attempted to modify their own zenoahs 
What did you do to it
What did you destroy in it
An in what way did you think you improved it as in horsepower or torque or just drivability an reliabilty
Pics would be bonus too guys especially the destroyed motors

RE: Self modifying zenoahs
I would like to know this too. Those are great suggestions and photos, but I still wouldnt know where to begin. I do have an old piston and jug I could practice on. Are there any step by step books or articles on this, or should this just be left up to people that do this for a living?

ORIGINAL: OLD_SLOW and in the WAY
Time your engine at 180 deg exhaust and 155 deg intake, lighten piston to 22 grams i would take 40+ grams off the crank too

Come on guys any modification engine mounts self made coil brackets engine detail lets see what some people do to stand out from crowd an innovation
Even if you dont do it an you know someone who does modify tell the forum what they do of course you cant put a business up on forum so dont do that
